We present the first simultaneous observations of solar wind He/sup 2 +/ and O/sup 6 +/ shell-like distributions in the magnetosheath. The He/sup 2 +/ and O/sup 6 +/ distributions are centered on the downstream H/sup +/ bulk velocity and have radii proportional to mass/charge. These observations are consistent with the electrostatic cross-shock potential model discussed in the text. copyright American Geophysical Union 1988
