Description:
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory instrumentation on Imp 7 has detected large fluxes of He(+) within that volume of solar wind plasma believed to be the solar ejecta driving the interplanetary shock wave disturbance of July 29, 1977. The very high He(+)/He(++) abundance ratio of 0.3 measured during this event suggests that this was solar prominence material only partially ionized by its passage through the corona.
