Data Set Abstract |
This near encounter data set consists of electron and ion
counting rate data from the Low Energy Charged Particle (LECP)
experiment on Voyager 1 while the spacecraft was within the
very close vicinity of Saturn. This instrument measures the
intensities of in-situ charged particles ( >13 keV electrons
and >24 keV ions) with various levels of discrimination based
on energy range and mass species. A subset of almost 100 LECP
channels are included in this data set. The LECP data are
globally calibrated to the extent possible. During Saturn
near encounter, the LEMPA (Low Energy Magnetospheric Particle
Analyzer) subsystem was turned on for data collection.
Particles include low energy electrons, protons, alpha
particles, medium energy protons and ions, high energy and
intensity protons, electrons, alpha particles, and Z >= nuclei.
The near encounter data are 0.4 second rate measurements within
1/8 of the LECP instrumental motor rotation period (the
angular scanning periods, or step period). |
