Density of neutral interstellar hydrogen at the termination shock from Ulysses pickup ion observations
Aims. By reevaluating a 13-month stretch of Ulysses SWICS H pickup ion measurements near 5 AU close to the ecliptic right after the previous solar minimum, this paper presents a determination of the neutral interstellar H density at the solar wind termination shock and implications for the density and ionization degree of hydrogen in the LIC. Methods. The density of neutral interstellar hydroge...
متن کاملResults of the Ulysses Fast Latitude Scan: Magnetic Field Observations
The rapid crossing of the solar equatorial region by Ulysses as it returned from the south pole resulted in 7 crossings of the heliospheric current sheet between 10“S and 20”N and 10 distinct solar wind interaction regions between 18“S and 22”N. Both the extent of the current sheet and the latitude interval containing the interaction regions are a f~ctor of= 2 less than were observed by Ulysses...
متن کاملICME Observations During the Ulysses Fast Latitude Scan
Between November 2000 and October 2001 the Ulysses spacecraft performed a fast traversal of the heliospheric latitudes between 80°S and 80°N, a period close to the activity maximum of the current solar cycle. This paper provides an overview of the Ulysses observations of the transient solar wind structures associated with coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) during this period. Compared to the previo...
متن کاملThe heliospheric magnetic field at solar minimum: Ulysses observations from pole to pole
The fast transit of the Ulysses spacecraft from the south polar regions of the heliosphere to the north polar regions has allowed us to obtain a unique perspective on the configuration and properties of the heliospheric magnetic field at a time of solar minimum activity. We compare the magnetic field in the northern and southern hemispheres and find no evidence of asymmetry in the radial compon...
متن کاملOxygen flux in the solar wind: Ulysses observations
[1] We use the complete set of Ulysses solar wind data to conduct a comprehensive determination of the oxygen flux in relation to the proton flux in the solar wind during a wide range of solar activity levels. The data cover the heliosphere between 1.3 and 5.4 AU and, due to the unique orbit of Ulysses, all of the heliographic latitudes within ±80°. We find log‐normal distributions for O and H ...
