The energy spectrum of cosmic ray electrons, 5-150 MeV in late 1978 and early 1979The University of Chicago cosmic ray electron detector was launched aboard the ISEE-3 spacecraft on August 12, 1978. The energy spectrum of electrons measured in 1978 is nearly identical to that measured in 1968 by OGO-5. During the period of our investigation we observe quiet time increases in the electron flux which are of Jovian origin. These increases are restricted to energies below about 25 MeV but appear to have an energy dependence that peaks around 15 MeV.
