Statistics

Scientific paper

The Trapped Ions in Space (TRIS) experiment1 was flown in a 57° orbit at an average altitude of 254 km in October 1984 aboard the Space Shuttle. The detector was a stack of Lexan and CR-39 plastic track detectors. We have increased our statistics and extended our previously reported results2 to lower energies. As shown in Fig. 1, the observed orbit-averaged oxygen flux greatly exceeds what is expected from galactic3,4 and solar5,6,7 cosmic rays; the observed carbon flux agrees with galactic and solar expectations. If the excess oxygen flux is attributed entirely to fully-ionized nuclei coming from outside the magnetosphere, the inferred exomagnetospheric flux exceeds contemporaneous upper limits on the oxygen flux at 1 AU5,7. The excess flux is consistent, however, with a singly-ionized anomalous component (AC).
