Scientific paper
On the basis of interplanetary electron flux measurements in the energy range 0.7-25 MeV made on the Mariner 10 spacecraft launched in 1973 for successive encounters with planet Mercury (R approximately equal 0.5 AU), it is shown that the dominant interplanetary flux of electrons close to the sun is Jovian in origin (except for times of solar flares) and that these observations are consistent with a three-dimensional diffusion-convection model which describes Jovian electron propagation in the outer solar system.
