VG2 JUP PLASMA DERIVED ELECTRON MOMENTS 96.0 SEC V1.1

Metadata Updated: August 23, 2025

This data set contains derived values of the electron density and moment temperature at Jupiter during the Voyager 2 encounter in the PLS voltage range (10-5950 eV/q). Adjacent low and high energy electron measurements are combined to form a composite spectra which is used for the moment calculation. These assume isotropic distributions and correct for positive spacecraft charge when applicable and interpolate electron spectra below the 10 eV instrument threshold before performing the integration over velocity. Data format: column 1 is time (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ), column 2 is the moment density in cm^-3, column 3 the temperature in eV. Each row has format (a24, 2(1x,1pe9.2)). Values of -9.99e+10 indicate that the parameter could not be obtained from the data using the standard analysis technique. Additional information about this data set and the instrument which produced it can be found elsewhere in this catalog.
