Scientific paper

This paper presents the first detailed account of the results of the Voyager 2 low-energy charged particle (LECP) investigation of the Uranian magnetosphere. The LECP instrument utilizes a variety of solid-state detectors to obtain measurements of electrons (22 keV ≤ Ee ≤ 20 MeV) and ions (18 keV ≤ Ei ≤ 150 MeV) in several energy intervals with good energy, species, time, and spatial resolution. Beyond an energy of ≡200 keV/nucleon (500 keV/nucleon at Uranus due to previous detector damage), individual ion species can be separately identified, and their energy spectra and angular distributions determined.
