Radiation Belts of Jupiter
Abstract
Pioneer 10 counted relativistic electrons throughout the magnetosphere of Jupiter, with the greatest fluxes being inside 20 Jupiter radii. The peak flux of electrons with energy greater than 50 million electron volts was 1.3 × 107 per square centimeter per second at the innermost penetration of the radiation belts.
