The oscillation regimes of cyclotron stability in the Jovian radiation belts are analyzed. It is shown that the eigenfrequencies of oscillations in the outer magnetosphere of Jupiter are independent of the magnetic shell L and coincide with the angular rotational velocity. The theoretical results are used to explain Pioneer observations of 10-hour modulation in the energetic electron flux of Jupiter. 7 references.
