Scientific paper

Near the Io torus outer boundary (L of about 8), the Voyager 1 plasma wave instrument detected high frequency (f) waves near one-half the electron cyclotron frequency fc. High resolution waveform measurements demonstrate that these signals (f approximately equal to fc/2) are banded whistler mode chorus at f not greater than fc/2 and half-cyclotron frequency emissions with f slightly above fc/2. The density (about 2.5 per cu cm), the energy (a few keV), and the omnidirectional energy flux (100 ergs/sq cm-sec), of the electrons resonant with the chorus were determined.
