Scientific paper

This paper presents values of particle spectral parameters and estimates of plasma densities, temperatures, and beta parameters, obtained with the Low Energy Charged Particle instrument during the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune on August 24-25, 1989. In addition, trapped electron intensities are compared with the whistler mode stably trapped limits. The results revealed a very good inbound-outbound symmetry for both the proton and the electron profiles, suggesting that there was little dynamical activity in Neptune's magnetosphere during the Voyager encounter. The similarities and differences observed between Neptune and Uranus in the values of plasma density, pressure, and beta are discussed.
