Additional evidence for a possible emission of cosmic rays by Jupiter
Abstract
Magnetic field and particle data from Pioneer 10 were used to compute an angle for the cosmic-ray modulation of approximately 125 deg between the solar vectors at earth and at Jupiter when both planets are on the same magnetic force line. The result supports the hypothesis that Jupiter is a cosmic ray source in our solar system.
