Scientific paper

With a detector on board the OGO-5 satellite, the flux and energy spectrum of electrons in the 10-30 MeV range has been continuously monitored from 1968 to 1972. Sudden increases by factors of up to 300 percent have been observed during solar quiet periods. These 'Quiet-Time Increases' abruptly die out above 30 MeV and correlate well with identical increases reported at lower energies leading to a flat relative energy spectrum. A large fraction of these electrons is most likely of Jovian origin.
