Scientific paper

Detailed measurements of the charge state composition of energetic heavy ions in the diffuse component are presented for the first time. Spectral characteristics and charge state measurements for 12 diffuse ion events observed upstream of the earth's bow shock are reported. One event is analyzed in order to illustrate the basic assumptions and general techniques involved in the determination of charge state composition from the data. The probable solar wind origin of the seed population of the diffuse component is used together with the charge state composition of these heavy ions to estimate the charge state composition in the concurrent solar wind, and hence to infer the equilibrium coronal temperatures associated with a variety of solar wind flows. The results are compared with predicted solar wind values.
