The charge state of anomalous oxygen of cosmic rays.
Abstract
Cosmos-satellite observations of fluxes of ions with Z not less than 6 and energies of 4-20 MeV/nucleon at altitudes of 300-400 km during 1985-1988 are discussed. These observations suggest the existence of fluxes of trapped ions of anomalous oxygen, which prior to trapping had a charge Q approximately equal to 1.
