Revised Pioneer 10 absolute electron intensities in the inner Jovian magnetosphere

Abstract

Using improved techniques for the analysis of the University of Iowa Pioneer 10 Jupiter encounter data, we have obtained significantly more reliable values for energetic electron (E_e < 21 MeV) intensities within the inner magnetosphere. Our revised absolute intensities of electrons 0.06 < E_e < 21 MeV are less than our previous estimates by factors as great as 10 for L ≲ 6. Our previously published intensities at greater radial distances for E_e < 21 MeV and at all radial distances for E_e > 21 MeV are not affected by the revisions.
