Comment on: Low Energy Electron Measurements in the Jovian Magnetosphere
- 1. European Space Research and Technology Centre Noordwijk, The Netherlands
Description
We suggest that the low energy electrons reported by Intriligator and Wolfe (1974) in the outer magnetosphere of Jupiter may actually be photoelectrons and/or secondary electrons from the Pioneer spacecraft surfaces. The electron spectrum is similar to the observed photoelectron spectrum on earth-orbiting satellites where differentially charged surfaces have deflected the electrons into particle detectors
