Bursts of protons (energy between 0.6 and 3.4 MeV) were observed sunward of Jupiter's bow shock out to a radial distance of 200 Jupiter radii by the University of Iowa detector G on Pioneer 11. These observations supplement earlier reports by the University of Chicago and Goddard Space Flight Center groups and strengthen their suggestion of a Jovian origin by virture of the findings presented here that the protons exhibit a very anisotropic, and field-aligned pitch angle distribution directed away from the planet and that the bursts are not associated with interplanetary disturbances. Power spectra of the proton counting rates show no significant power at Jupiter's rotational period.
