VG2 URA CRS: Voyager 2 Electron Counting Rates During Uranus Encounter

Resampled counting rate data from the D2 detector in the Cosmic Ray System electron telescope on Voyager 2 during the Uranus encounter. The D2 detector nominally responds to electrons with kinetic energies above approximately 2.5 MeV. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling electron flux variations based on the D2 detector counting rate.
• Analyzing temporal patterns in high-energy electron data during the Uranus encounter.
• Correlating electron measurements with other Voyager 2 instrument data based on the described energy response.

Strengths

• Data originates from the Voyager 2 spacecraft, a primary source for outer solar system science.
• The detector's energy response threshold (approximately 2.5 MeV) is specified.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
