Publications: ARC Pioneer Plasma Group

The following is a partial list of publications involving the Pioneer Plasma
Group that relate to the plasma experiments aboard the Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11,
and Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) spacecraft. These publications have been
divided very roughly by category. Because of the long duration of the Pioneer
Missions (more than two decades since the launch of Pioneer 10 in 1972), this
list is incomplete. It will be extended as time permits. For a more extensive
list, the reader is directed to the references contained within these
publications.
