Fuselier, S.A., Shelley, E.G. and Klumpar, D.M. (1988). AMPTE/CCE observations of shell-like He²⁺ and O⁶⁺ distributions in the magnetosheath. Geophysical Research Letters 15: doi: 10.1029/88GL03805. issn: 0094-8276.

We present the first simultaneous observations of solar wind He2+ and O6+ shell-like distributions in the magnetosheath. The He2+ and O6+ distributions are centered on the downstream H+ bulk velocity and have radii proportional to mass/charge. These observations are consistent with the electrostatic cross-shock potential model discussed in the text. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
