Scientific paper

The ISEE-1 spacecraft measured energetic ion composition over a wide radial range in the near-equatorial magnetosphere, from close to the Earth to a distance of 23 RE. The Plasma Composition Experiment covers energies from 0 eV/e to 17 keV/e. Results for energetic O+ ions of terrestrial origin show that these ions are found in every region of the magnetosphere reached by the spacecraft and can have energy and pitch-angle distributions very similar to those of H+ ions. The O+ ions are the most numerous ions in the 0.1 to 17 keV/e energy range at L 5 and are often a substantial part of the ion population at larger distances as well, especially during geomagnetically disturbed conditions.
