I'm searching for regular graphs with the least eigenvalue -2. Is there any characterization or something that represent all these graphs?also number of vertices is power of n?

Connected regular graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least $−2$ are either a line graph, a cocktail party graph, or the number of vertices is at most 28.

This is Theorem 3.12.2 in Distance-Regular Graphs (2012).
