Scientific paper

First-order anisotropies of particle intensities can be deduced from measurements from the four low-energy telescopes on the Voyager Cosmic Ray experiment. Anisotropy observations will be reported for H with 3.3-7.8 MeV, He with 4.0-7.8 MeV/nuc, and O with 5.4-17.1 MeV/nuc for various intervals from 1993 through the present. This period includes the recent solar minimum when anomalous cosmic rays dominate the He and O observations and solar maximum when other particle populations dominate the H and He observations. The ACR O anisotropy observations can be combined with observed radial gradients to deduce the mean free pathlengths of the particles, and the streaming directions can suggest the location of the source of H and He during solar maximum. This work was supported by NASA under contract NAS7-1407.
