Scientific paper

Energetic trapped electrons were measured with the Galileo Jupiter Probe, with samples from inside Io's orbit, down to just above the atmosphere. The energetic electron fluxes and spectra agree well with the earlier results from the Pioneer spacecraft, where comparison may be made under the assumption of simple power law spectra. New features from the Galileo measurements include direct observations of the electron pitch angle distributions and spectral softening, both as the atmosphere is approached and at smaller pitch angles at each measurement location.
