Scientific paper

The Soviet spacecraft Phobos 2 reached Mars on January 29, 1989. The onboard SLED recorded particles of solar and planetary origin while in elliptical and circular orbits about the planet. Enhanced fluxes were identified, particularly during periods of spin stabilization, superimposed on the general particle intensity time profile. These latter fluxes are interpreted here, using backup evidence from simultaneous solar wind and magnetic field measurements recorded on the same spacecraft, to have constituted pickup ions (/O+/,/O2+/) with E/O+/ not less than 55 keV.
