Abstract
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 <Q>=0.9(+0.3/-0.2) for ~10 MeV/nuc anomalous oxygen, consistent with the model of Fisk, Kozlovsky, and Ramaty in which anomalous cosmic rays originate from the neutral component of the local interstellar medium (ISM). This same approach gives <Q>=+7 for solar energetic oxygen ions.
