Scientific paper

It is suggested that the low energy electrons reported by Intriligator and Wolfe (1974) in the outer magnetosphere of Jupiter may actually be photoelectrons and/or secondary electrons from the Pioneer spacecraft surfaces. The electron spectrum is similar to the observed photoelectron spectrum on earth-orbiting satellites where differentially charged surfaces have deflected the electrons into particle detectors.
