Scientific paper

Rocket measurements of the pitch-angle and energy distributions of precipitated electrons in the 1- to 20-keV range show a consistent and relatively simple pattern. Features such as 'monoenergetic peaks' and pitch-angle distributions showing intense field-aligned components, rather than being anomalous, are characteristic of bright well-defined auroral forms. Presently available observations do not allow the identification of specific acceleration mechanisms, although they are consistent with several possibilities.
