Ulysses observations of pressure - balance structures in the polar solar wind
Throughout its high-latitude excursion Ulysses has observed several types of solar wind structures. In addition to structures such as Alfven waves, compressional features, and microstreams, the solar wind also contains low contrast pressure-balance structures (PBSs). The PBSs are marked by an anti-correlation of the plasma and field pressures; their signatures are often hidden by the comparativ...
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 ...
متن کاملObservations of Evolving Turbulence in the Polar Solar Wind
The Ulysses magnetic field experiment has measured the heliospheric magnetic field in solar wind flows from the Sun’s Southern polar coronal hole ovef a wide range of heliolatitudes and distances. We present an anatysis of more than one ym of data, covering a latitude range of 40° to 80°S and a distance range of 4.0 to 1.7 AU. We extend an earlier analysis of Utysses magnetic field data and, by...
متن کاملVariation of electron-strahl width in the high-speed solar wind: Ulysses observations
Halo electron velocity distributions have been surveyed during the first full Ulysses southern polar pass from January 1994 through April 1995. The data examined range from approximately 50◦ S heliolatitude to the maximum poleward extent of the Ulysses orbit, approximately 80◦ S, and then back through the solar equator to 35◦ N heliolatitude. During this traversal the radial distance of Ulysses...
متن کاملSolar wind velocity jumps across tangential discontinuities: Ulysses observations and kinetic interpretation
Some tangential discontinuities (TDs) observed by theUlysses spacecraft interface solar wind regions that differ only in their bulk velocity and magnetic field orientation; composition, density, temperature and magnetic field intensity are essentially the same in both regions. The relation between the plasma velocity jump across the TD and the magnetic field is investigated through the analysis...
