Scientific paper

The EGD plasma experiment, launched on board the ISEE 2 spacecraft, is briefly described. Preliminary results concerning three bow-shock crossings in November 1977 are discussed. Attention is focused on some nonthermal features of the distribution function of proton velocities. In particular, double-peaked structures of solar-wind spectra and flows of particles backstreaming from the bow shock are discussed.
