Voyager 2 Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP) Background-Corrected Electron Differential Fluxes, Daily Data in CDF Format

Description

This data set contains data from the LECP instrument on the Voyager 2 spacecraft. Each record in a file contains 1-day (24-hour) scan-averaged fluxes and flux uncertainties of electrons in two contiguous energy channels that cover the energy range 22-61 keV. The period 2006/001 through 2018/304 includes electrons measured upstream of the termination shock and in the heliosheath up to heliopause crossing. The voyager 2 LECP instrument steps through eight, 45 deg full-angle sectors, spending 192 sec in each sector, yielding a full scan through 360 deg every 25.6 min. The LECP scan plane is nearly parallel to RT-plane of the heliospheric RTN coordinate system. The electron data are averaged over the seven active sectors S1-S7; S8 is behind the sun-shield and not included in the average.-- Electron channels designated EB01 and EB02-- Data have been corrected to remove background due to penetrating cosmic ray ions-- Electron fluxes and uncertainties (one st. dev.) in units: (cm^2 s sr MeV)^-1-- Data are 5-point running averages of daily values-- Values -9.900e+01 used for missing or nonphysical data-- Negative year indicates filled data for the associated doy
