Scientific paper

Observations are presented from Voyager 1 and 2 of nonthermal ions from H through Fe in the Jovian magnetosphere using the low-energy particle telescope (LEPT), one of the two sensors of the low-energy charged particle (LECP) experiment. At approximately 1 MeV/nucleon, the principal constituents of the ion population were H, He, C, O, Na, S, and the hydrogen molecules H2 and H3. In relation to He, the abundance of H and H3 at equal energy/nucleon was highest in the outer magnetosphere, the abundance of O, Na, and S was highest in the inner magnetosphere, and the abundance of C was constant throughout the magnetosphere.
