Scientific paper

Observations of pancake (peak flux near 90-deg pitch angle) distributions of low-energy (not greater than 100 eV) ions are reported. Pancake distributions occur often in H(+) and He(+) simultaneously while O(+) fluxes are either undetectable or field-aligned. These H(+) and He(+) pancake distributions typically display characteristic energies of the order of 10 eV and are frequently mixed with higher density, colder isotropic, quasi-Maxwellian components. They appear often within the outer regions of the plasmasphere, and seem to occur most frequently on the dayside and near the magnetic equator.
