Scientific paper

The source of interplanetary Jovian MeV electron enhancements observed at earth is found to be Jupiter's magnetotail. If an average solar wind speed of 400 km/sec is assumed, the main region of emission extends from about 1.0 AU downstream from Jupiter to about 2.0 AU beyond the planet. (If a value of 350 km/sec is assumed, it extends from about 0.4 AU to about 1.2 AU.) Individual 'active' zones are about 0.2 AU in length. It is proposed that interplanetary magnetic field line connection with the tail is the mechanism providing the Jovian electrons observed at earth.
