Measurement of low-energy charged particles by means of the SF-3M spectrometer onboard the satellite "Cosmos-1809".
Abstract
A spectrometer of electrons and ions of low energies was installed onboard the satellite "Cosmos-1809" launched 18.XII.86. The description of the instrument and of its calibration is given. Some results obtained by this instrument are described: the electron and ion fluxes above the auroral latitudes, escaped and conjugate photoelectron fluxes, electron and ion bursts caused by powerful radiopulses abord the satellite.
