Scientific paper

An account is given of a series of studies of electron acceleration, or heating, in the solar wind performed within the AMPTE three-spacecraft mission. Discussion centers on measurements made by the electron spectrometer carried on the AMPTE-UKS spacecraft and includes investigations of the earth's bow shock, ion releases made in the solar wind, natural cavities or 'holes' found in the interplanetary magnetic field, and the region known as the magnetopause where solar and terrestrial plasmas meet. The findings are discussed and interpreted in terms of an acceleration theory which appears to apply in all cases so far investigated.
