During the years 1996–2000 solar activity has been gradually rising and is now close to maximum. At the same time the Ulysses spacecraft has performed a north to south traverse of the low latitude regions of the heliosphere and is now once again travelling
through high southerly latitudes. We show some examples and report on the occurence rates of transient solar wind disturbances
which have been identified by their magnetic field signatures. ‘Magnetic clouds’ remain more common at low (compared to high)
latitudes despite the rise in solar activity. However, more events were observed at high latitudes than at solar minimum.

Energetic particles, accelerated in shocks which were associated with recurrent fast solar wind streams, were observed in high heliographic latitudes; fifteen such steams were included in the present study. Intensity variations ranged up to four orders of magnitude. Energy spectra were typically steeper near forward shocks than near reverse shocks. Electrons were observed only lated to the reverse shocks. Composition ratios in accelerated streams resembled those observed in fast CIR's. In periods between the recurrent acceleration regions elemental abundance ratios were similar to those of the anomalous cosmic rays (ACR). The intensity of the accelerated particles declined as the latitude of ULYSSES increased, probably due to the weakening of the shocks. 相似文献

We present observations of energetic (0.34–8 MeV) ions from the Ulysses spacecraft during its second ascent to southern high latitude regions of the heliosphere. We cover the period from January
1999 until mid-2000 as Ulysses moved from 5.2 AU and 18° S to 3.5 AU and 55° S. In contrast to the long-lived and well-defined ∼26-day recurrences that
were observed throughout Ulysses‘ first southern pass, energetic ion fluxes during the first portion of the Ulysses’ second polar orbit are highly irregular. Although corotating interaction regions (CIRs) are clearly present in solar wind
and magnetic field data throughout the first half of 1999, their effects on energetic ion intensities are quite different
from what they were in 1992–1993. No dominant strictly recurrent ion flux increases are observed in association with the arrival
of these CIRs. Correspondingly, there is no stable structure of large polar coronal holes during the same period. Isolated
transient solar energetic particle (SEP) events are observed at low and high latitudes. We compare energetic ion observations
from the ACE and Ulysses spacecraft during the first half of 1999 to determine the influence of these SEP events in the observed recurrent CIR structure.
Such SEP events occurred only occasionally during 1992–1993, but when they occurred, they obscured the recurrences in a manner
similar to that observed in 1999–2000. We therefore conclude that the basic differences in the behavior of energetic ion events
between the first and second southern passes are due to the short life of the corotating structure and the higher frequency
of SEP events occurring in 1999–2000.

Both the Ulysses and Galileo spacecraft detected energetic electrons and Langmuir waves that were associated with a type III radio burst on 10 December 1990. At the time of these observations, these spacecraft were in the ecliptic plane and separated by 0.4 AU, with Galileo near the Earth at 1 AU and Ulysses at 1.36 AU. From the measured electron arrival times, the propagation path lengths of the electrons to both Ulysses and Galileo were estimated to be significantly longer than the length of the Parker spiral. These long path lengths are interpreted as due to draping of the interplanetary magnetic field lines around a CME. The onset times of the Langmuir waves at Ulysses and Galileo coincided with the estimated arrival time of the 9 keV and 14 keV electrons, respectively. 相似文献

We present a study of wave particle interaction in the vicinity of interplanetary shocks in the ecliptic plane, as observed by the Ulysses spacecraft. We focus here on some events, for which electromagnetic waves are observed, mainly down-stream of the shock. The whistler mode waves are studied by means of the Unified RAdio and Plasma wave experiment (URAP) and the electron distribution functions are obtained from the Ulysses' plasma experiment (SWOOPS). The results are discussed in the light of electron-cyclotron instabilities. 相似文献

We have identified 20 coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, in the solar wind in the Ulysses data obtained between S30° and S75° during the second polar orbit. Unlike CME-driven disturbances observed at high latitudes
during Ulysses’ first polar orbit, these disturbances had plasma and magnetic field characteristics similar to those observed in the ecliptic
plane near 1 AU when one allows for evolution with heliocentric distance. Here we provide a brief overview of CME observations
at high latitudes both close to and far from the Sun, with emphasis on the recent Ulysses measurements on the rising portion of solar cycle 23.

In November 1992, the Ulysses spacecraft observed a multiple solar particle event and a CME event at 5.2 AU and a heliographic latitude of 20° S which were superimposed to the recurrent corotating interacting region. Distinct particle flux increases caused by these events were observed in all energy channels of the EPAC experiment. The experimental findings are discussed. 相似文献

We present observations of energetic ions from the Ulysses COSPIN Low Energy Telescope in the mid and high-latitude regions of the heliosphere prior to and during the first polar pass of the Ulysses spacecraft. After the encounter with Jupiter, Ulysses started on its journey out-of-the-ecliptic. Between 13°S and 29°S the spacecraft sampled the solar wind from both the streamer belt and the polar coronal hole. Here, co-rotating magnetic structures with forward and reverse shocks and containing accelerated energetic ions were observed.At latitudes greater than 29°S, Ulysses was completely immersed in the solar wind from the polar coronal hole. Here the co-rotating magnetic structures were weaker, and in general had only reverse shocks, but were still capable of accelerating the energetic ions, albeit with reduced intensity. The most recent results show that beyond 50°S, very few if any, reverse shocks are observed. However, accelerated ions from magnetic interaction regions are still observed. We report also on an intensity enhancement at 50°S due to the passage of a high-latitude CME. 相似文献

Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) form as a consequence of the compression of the solar wind at the interface between
fast speed streams and slow streams. Dynamic interaction of solar wind streams is a general feature of the heliospheric medium;
when the sources of the solar wind streams are relatively stable, the interaction regions form a pattern which corotates with
the Sun. The regions of origin of the high speed solar wind streams have been clearly identified as the coronal holes with
their open magnetic field structures. The origin of the slow speed solar wind is less clear; slow streams may well originate
from a range of coronal configurations adjacent to, or above magnetically closed structures. This article addresses the coronal
origin of the stable pattern of solar wind streams which leads to the formation of CIRs. In particular, coronal models based
on photospheric measurements are reviewed; we also examine the observations of kinematic and compositional solar wind features
at 1 AU, their appearance in the stream interfaces (SIs) of CIRs, and their relationship to the structure of the solar surface
and the inner corona; finally we summarise the Helios observations in the inner heliosphere of CIRs and their precursors to
give a link between the optical observations on their solar origin and the in-situ plasma observations at 1 AU after their
formation. The most important question that remains to be answered concerning the solar origin of CIRs is related to the origin
and morphology of the slow solar wind.

Ulysses observed a stable strong CIR from early 1992 through 1994 during its first journey into the southern hemisphere. After
the rapid latitude scan in early 1995, Ulysses observed a weaker CIR from early 1996 to mid-1997 in the northern hemisphere
as it traveled back to the ecliptic at the orbit of Jupiter. These two CIRs are the observational basis of the investigation
into the latitudinal structure of CIRs. The first CIR was caused by an extension of the northern coronal hole into the southern
hemisphere during declining solar activity, whereas the second CIR near solar minimum activity was caused by small warps in
the streamer belt. The latitudinal structure is described through the presentation of three 26-day periods during the southern
CIR. The first at ∼24°S shows the full plasma interaction region including fast and slow wind streams, the compressed shocked
flows with embedded stream interface and heliospheric current sheet (HCS), and the forward and reverse shocks with associated
accelerated ions and electrons. The second at 40°S exhibits only the reverse shock, accelerated particles, and the 26-day
modulation of cosmic rays. The third at 60°S shows only the accelerated particles and modulated cosmic rays. The possible
mechanisms for the access of the accelerated particles and the CIR-modulated cosmic rays to high latitudes above the plasma
interaction region are presented. They include direct magnetic field connection across latitude due to stochastic field line
weaving or to systematic weaving caused by solar differential rotation combined with non-radial expansion of the fast wind.
Another possible mechanism is particle diffusion across the average magnetic field, which includes stochastic field line weaving.
A constraint on connection to a distant portion of the CIR is energy loss in the solar wind, which is substantial for the
relatively slow-moving accelerated ions. Finally, the weaker northern CIR is compared with the southern CIR. It is weak because
the inclination of the streamer belt and HCS decreased as Ulysses traveled to lower latitudes so that the spacecraft remained
at about the maximum latitudinal extent of the HCS.
