Scientific paper

A survey of the plasma environment within Jupiter's bow shock is given in terms of the in situ calibrated electron plasma measurements made between 10 eV and 5.95 keV by the Voyager Plasma Science Experiment (PLS). The measurements are analyzed and corrected for spacecraft potential variations; the data are reduced to nearly model independent macroscopic parameters of the local electron density and temperature. The electron parameters are derived without reference to or internal calibration from the positive ion measurements made in the PLS experiment. Extensive statistical and direct comparisons with other determinations of the local plasma charge density indicate clearly that the analysis procedures have successfully and routinely discriminated between spacecraft sheath and ambient plasmas.
