dc.description.abstractA study of electron temperature (Te) measurements made by a Langmuir probe mounted on the skin of the Explorer 31 satellite indicates that electron temperature in the very near wake exceeds that of the ambient electron gas. Potential causes of such an enhancement are mentioned but the possibility that the wake `temperatures' reflect the existence of non-Maxwellian energy distributions cannot be discounted. The results are compared with observations from the Gemini/Agena wake experiment and are found to be in reasonable agreement.en_US
