TL;DR: Extensive measurements of low-energy positive ions and electrons in the vicinity of Uranus have revealed a fully developed magnetosphere, with the boundary of the hot plasma component at L = 5 associated either with Miranda or with the inner limit of a deeply penetrating, solar wind-driven magnetospheric convection system.
A simple method for obtaining a three-dimensional proton distribution function from Voyager plasma data
TL;DR: In this article, the Vogager plasma experiment consists of a cluster of three, modulated-grid Faraday cups whose normals are arranged symmetrically about the symmetry axis of the cluster at an angle of 20 degrees to that axis.
