Voyager 2 Plasma Spectrometer (PLS) Faraday Cup D Low Energy Electron Current Spectra, E1 Mode, Electron Energies from 10 eV to 140 eV, 96 s Data

These Electron Current Spectra in the Jovian Magnetosphere are from the Plasma Spectrometer (PLS) Instrument on Voyager 2 during July 1979 Flyby of Jupiter. The Instrument has four Faraday Cups A, B, C, and D, the Electron Data come only from Faraday Cup D. The Data are specified in Terms of Current per Faraday Cup in femto-amperes (10^-15 A equals 1 fA) versus Channel Number and Energy (eV). This Data Set is for the PLS E1 Mode covering Electron Energies from 10 eV to 140 eV in 16 logarithmic Energy Channels. The PLS Instrument samples only one Mode of Electron (E1, E2) or Ion (L, M) Spectra in each Time Interval, so the E1 Data are not continuous but consecutive with the other Modes in Time.
