Measurements of the Jovian radiation belts

R. Walker Fillius, C. E. McIlwain

Open publisher page 99 citations

Abstract

The University of California at San Diego trapped radiation detector measured proton and electron fluxes, angular distributions, and energy spectra throughout the Pioneer 10 flyby of Jupiter last December. Here the instrumentation and calibrations are described, and good values for particle fluxes in the inner and outer regions are presented. The major features of the Jovian radiation belts are described, with preliminary discussions of their meanings.
