| 1979-07-06T00:00:42.687Z - 1979-07-09T23:59:06.436Z | ||||||||||||||
| This collection 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. | ||||||||||||||

| This collection contains solar wind plasma data upstream of Jupiter before the Voyager 2 encounter. Fit and moment parameters are given; the fit parameters assume a convected isotropic proton Maxwellian distribution. Use of fit parameters is recommended as these are normally more accurate. Since only the first 72 or last 72 energy/charge channels are telemetered to Earth from each M-mode spectra, derived parameters change significantly only every other set of spectra so the effective time resolution is 196 s. | ||||||||||||||

| This collection contains plasma parameters from the Voyager 2 inbound magnetosheath and outbound data from the magnetotail through the solar wind. Inbound Voyager 2 passed near noon local time, so it sampled regions of the magnetosheath where flow is generally subsonic. Distribution functions observed were well represented by two convected isotropic proton Maxwellians, so this type of distribution was used to derive the proton velocity, density and temperature. Physically the two populations represent the thermal plasma accelerated at the shock (the colder component) and ions reflected once at the shock before entering the magnetosheath (the hotter component). The PLS experiment could not resolve alpha particles in this region so no alpha parameters are provided; the neglect of alpha made cause an overestimate of the hot proton component of the plasma. One sigma errors are provided for the fit parameters. | ||||||||||||||

| This collection contains plasma parameters from Voyager 2 outbound from Jupiter from the magnetotail through the solar wind. Fit and moment parameters are given; the fit parameters assume a single, isotropic convected proton Maxwellian distribution. Although magnetotail data is provided, these data are unreliable; the density can be used as an upper limit to the actual density. Solar wind data are also provided and are reliable. These M mode data are the best data to use in most regions of the magnetosheath. Magnetotail data in this data collection are included mainly to put the sheath data in context and show magnetopause. | ||||||||||||||
