Cosmic electron gradients in the inner heliosphere
[1] We report the first determination of the radial gradient of cosmic ray electrons in the inner heliosphere at rigidities of 1.2 and 2.5 GV from 1 to 5 AU. Since this determination was made during the A solar polarity state, it also constitutes the only determination for particles in a polarity state opposite to their charge sign.We find that the radial gradient for electrons is indistinguish...
متن کاملRadial evolution of solar wind intermittency in the inner heliosphere
We analyzed intermittency in the solar wind, as observed on the ecliptic plane, looking at magnetic field and velocity fluctuations between 0.3 and 1 AU, for both fast and slow wind and for compressive and directional fluctuations. Our analysis focused on the property that probability distribution functions of a fluctuating field affected by intermittency become more and more peaked at smaller ...
متن کاملObservations of interstellar helium pickup ions in the inner heliosphere
[1] During the MESSENGER spacecraft’s interplanetary trajectory to Mercury, the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) measured the first helium pickup ion distributions at a heliocentric distance (R) ranging between 0.3 and 0.7 AU. From several transits of MESSENGER through the interstellar helium gravitational focusing cone, we map the cone structure in the ecliptic at R = 0.3 AU and compare...
متن کاملCharged particle composition in the inner heliosphere during the rise to maximum of Solar Cycle 23
Abstract. Flux distributions and abundances relative to oxygen of interplanetary ions (Z > 1) are statistically studied and compared for measurements made at 1 and at ~ 5 AU on the ACE and the Ulysses spacecraft near the ecliptic plane. Over the nearly two year interval studied, the distributions of the relative abundances and the fluxes of particles at the two locations are found to be approxi...
متن کاملObservational evidence of CMEs interacting in the inner heliosphere as inferred from MHD simulations
The interaction of multiple Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) has been observed by LASCO coronagraphs and by nearEarth spacecraft, and it is thought to be an important cause of geo-effective storms, large Solar Energetic Particles events and intense Type II radio bursts. New and future missions such as STEREO, the LWS Sentinels, and the Solar Orbiter will provide additional observations of the inte...
