Scientific paper

Evidence for the presence of sodium ions at a concentration about 10% that of oxygen among the particles with energies 10 to 20 MeV/nucleon seen with a detector on Skylab suggests that Jupiter is a significant source of energetic heavy particles inside the earth's magnetosphere. A numerical estimate based on the density of energetic sodium ions at 50 Jupiter radii measured on Voyager 1 indicates that the source strength is adequate.
