Scientific paper

We compare measurements of He+ by IMAGE/EUV with measurements of the local electron density ne by IMAGE/RPI to derive new constraints on the relative abundance of He+ in the plasmasphere. Analysis of 1067 pairs of He+ and ne determinations shows that the ratio of He+ to ne is much more variable early in the refilling process as compared to late, which may be related to interspecies differences in refilling rates. Further, the ratio is roughly constant with L for the periods studied, with a typical value of about 0.09.
