Scientific paper
Properties of heavy ions in low energy cosmic rays measured in the Skylab mission and by other spacecraft are summarized, and possible mechanisms of their origin are discussed. It is shown that the heavy ions in low energy cosmic rays below 50 MeV/N in near-earth space are distinctly different from those of high energy cosmic rays and are similar to those of the anomalous component in interplanetary space. The Skylab data can be understood at present on the hypothesis that low energy interplanetary cosmic ray ions, in partly ionized state, reach the inner magnetosphere at high latitudes where stripping occurs near mirror points, resulting in temporarily trapped ions. Low energy cosmic rays may originate from ordinary stars through such processes as stellar wind or stellar acceleration.
