Energetic Electrons in the Jovian Magnetosphere.
Abstract
Detailed analysis of the University of Iowa Pioneer 10 data using several design features of the instrument to accomplish particle species identification shows that the observed counting rates within the magnetosphere of Jupiter were caused primarily by electrons, E sub e > 0.06 MeV. This identification holds for the magnetodisc region (r approximately = or < (R sub j), Jovian radii) as well as for the central magnetosphere (r approximately = or < (R sub j)), as reported previously by Van Allen et al. (1974). Absolute omnidirectional intensities of electrons in the magnetodisc are presented for five integral energy ranges: E sub e > 0.06, > 0.55, > 5, > 21, and > 31 MeV.
