VG2 URA PLS DERIVED RDR ELECTRON FIT 48SEC V1.0

This data set contains electron parameters in the PLS energy range (10-5950 eV) at Uranus during the Voyager 2 encounter. Parameters are calculated in several ways. Total moment density and temperature are given. Each electron spectrum is also fit with a thermal component and 1-3 hot components depending on how many Maxwellians are needed to fit the entire distribution. The moment density and temperature of the hot component is calculated after the thermal component is subtracted from the spectrum. The CHI-Square value for each fit is given. The spacecraft charge is not calculated consistently, and may result in factor of 2-3 errors in the thermal electron density. Data is unreliable inside 5 RU and in the occultation regions. At Uranus measurements were taken using both a long and a short integration time. Each 48 SEC measurement frame contained either an E1-Short and an E2-Long measurement or an E2-Short and an EI-Long. To reduce systematic errors, complete electron spectra were obtained only by combining two long or two short spectra. The instrument threshold is at a density of about 0.001 CM-3; thus fits which yield data close to this value should be treated with caution. Flags in the data indicate whether the full analysis could be performed and if the data was contaminated by LECP stepping. A complete description of this data set is in Sittler et al. (1987).
