Scientific paper

The ion charge state of anomalous cosmic-ray oxygen was determined by comparing Cosmos-satellite measurements inside the magnetosphere with simultaneous observations outside the magnetosphere made with the IMP-8 and ICE. A mean charge state of 0.9 +0.3/-0.2 for the 10 MeV/nucleon anomalous oxygen is found, consistent with the model of Fisk et al. (1974) according to which the anomalous cosmic rays originate from the neutral component of the local interstellar medium. The same approach yields results consistent with a mean charge state of +7 for oxygen ions of solar origin.
