Аннотация:The ionic charge state of anomalous cosmic-ray oxygen has been determined by comparing measurements obtained inside the magnetosphere on a series of Cosmos satellite flights with simultaneous observations outside the magnetosphere from IMP 8 and ICE. We find a mean charge state of 0.9(-0.2)+0.3 for approximately 10 MeV nucleon-1 anomalous oxygen, consistent with the model of Fisk, Kozlovsky, & Ramaty, in which the anomalous cosmic rays originate from the neutral component of the local interstellar medium. This same approach gives results consistent with a mean charge state of +7 for solar energetic oxygen ions.
