Abstract During selected periods of quiet magnetospheric conditions (between October 24, 1977 and January 26, 1978) the distribution of Z ≥ 2 ions (He, C, O) in the B, L-space have been investigated with the heavy ion instrument ULEZEO on the ISEE-1 satellite. The equatorially mirroring ion distribution in L below 1 MeV/nucleon exhibits a maximum around L = 3.2. The equatorial pitch angle distribution, if fitted to a sinmα law, falls of sharply down to ∼ 39° pitch angle with values of m ≈ 16 for C and O at ∼ 0.5 Mev/nucleon. The locally mirroring flux above is subjected to large temporal variations even during quiet conditions.
