    First results from the Giotto magnetometer experiment during the P/Grigg-Skjellerup encounter (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The Giotto magnetic field experiment has provided the first magnetic field data on the interaction between the solar wind and a low gas production comet, P/Grigg-Skjellerup. Waves produced by ion pick-up instabilities have been observed throughout the interaction region with particularly simple waveforms at large distances and a rich phenomenology. A bow shock has been observed outbound only, whereas inbound a change in the character of the wave fields occurred without a jump in the magnetic field vector. The inbound and outbound crossings of the bow wave and shock at 19,900 km and 25,400 km from the nucleus, respectively, imply a neutral gas production rate of (6.7 +/- 1.6) x 10 exp 27/sec. A magnetic field cavity of the comet was not crossed. The pile-up region of 2500 km width along the trajectory showed a magnetic field peak of 88.7 nT.

    First results from the Giotto magnetometer experiment at comet Halley (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The Giotto magnetometer experiment at comet Halley has for the first time provided magnetic field measurements in all the important spatial regions characterizing the front-side interaction between the solar-wind magnetoplasma and a cometary atmosphere. Upstream waves of cometary origin have been observed at distances greater than two million km from the comet, both inbound and outbound. A cometary bow shock has been identified at 1.15 million inbound on the dawn side and a thick quasi-parallel cometary bow shock outbound. A turbulent magnetosheath has been observed further inside. A magnetic pile-up region has been identified inside 135,000 km, inbound, and 263,000 km, outbound, with fields up to 57 and 65 nT, respectively. A cavity region with essentially zero magnetic field has been discovered, with a width of 8500 km along the trajectory around closest approach.

    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Determinations of interplanetary sector structure for the years 1970-1972 reveal the persistence of sector patterns during the decreasing portion of the solar cycle. The simple two-sector pattern of 1969 persists through 1970 but develops greater complexity in 1971-1972.-

    The shape and location of the sector boundary surface in the inner solar system (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Simultaneous observations by Helios 1 and Helios 2 over four solar rotations, between January 20 and May 23, 1976, were used to determine the latitudinal dependence of the polarity of the interplanetary magnetic field within plus or minus 7.23 deg of the solar equator and within 1 AU. The longitudinal and latitudinal positions of the sector boundary crossing are consistent with a warped sector boundary which extended from the sun to 1 AU and was inclined approximately 10 deg with respect to the heliographic equator. This is consistent with simultaneous Pioneer 11 observations, which showed unipolar fields at approximately 16 deg latitude at heliocentric distances greater than 3.5 AU. Two sectors were observed at southern latitudes; however, four sectors were observed at northern latitudes on two rotations, indicating a distortion from planarity of the sector boundary surface.

    An extended investigation of Helios 1 and 2 observations - The interplanetary magnetic field between 0.3 and 1 AU (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Helios 1 and 2 spacecraft allowed a detailed investigation of the radial dependence of the interplanetary magnetic field components between 0.3 and 1 AU. The behavior of the radial component is in a very good agreement with Parker's model (approximately equal to the inverse square of the heliocentric distance) and the azimuthal component also shows a radial dependence which is close to theoretical predictions (approximately equal to the inverse of the heliocentric distance). Experimental results for the normal component and for the field magnitude are consistent with those from previous investigations. The relative amplitude of the directional fluctuations with periods less than 12 hr is essentially independent of heliocentric distance, while their power decreases approximately as the inverse cube of the heliocentric distance without any appreciable difference between higher and lower velocity regimes.

    IMF structures between 0.3 and 1 A.U. - A comparison of two-spacecraft observations (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Interplanetary-magnetic-field observations by Helios 1 and IMP 8 have been compared for a period of time (corresponding to four solar rotations) in which the radial and latitudinal separations between spacecraft, respectively, ranged between 0 and 0.69 AU and 0 and 14.5 degrees. The correspondence between macrostructural features is good even when the observing spacecraft are located at opposite sides of the solar equatorial plane. Unipolar regions of the interplanetary magnetic field are confirmed as steady-state, corotating structures and are also mostly consistent with a quite regular extension of the field polarities of the observed coronal holes. There are, however, interesting examples of recurrent unipolar regions which are not associated with the recurrent pattern of high-velocity streams. A comparison of two field enhancements suggests that these structures do not experience significant modifications with the heliocentric distance.

    The large-scale structure of the interplanetary magnetic field between 1 and 0.3 AU during the primary mission of Helios 1 (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The macroscale and mesoscale structure of the interplanetary magnetic field during the primary mission of Helios 1 is discussed. The radial field component behaves essentially in agreement with Parker's theory. The transverse component shows a larger variability than the radial component; its radial variation is in good agreement with Parker's theory for high speeds, but some deviation is found for low speeds. The radial variation of the field variance is also studied. Its dependence upon the heliocentric distance r is expressed by the law 1/r cubed, which is necessary but not sufficient for Alfven waves. The available data do not allow a unique interpretation of the 1/r cubed dependence. No big differences are observed between low (less than or equal to 500 km/s) and high (greater than or equal to 600 km/s) solar wind velocity regimes.

    Interplanetary flow systems associated with cosmic ray modulation in 1977-1980 (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The hydromagnetic flow configurations associated with the cosmic ray modulation in 1977-1980 were determined using solar wind plasma and magnetic field data from Voyager 1 and 2 and Helios 1. The modulation was related to two types of large-scale systems of flows: one containing a number of transients such as shocks and postshock flows, the other consisting primarily of a series of quasi-stationary flows following interaction regions containing a stream interface and often bounded by a forward-reverse shock pair. Each of three major episodes of cosmic ray modulation was associated with the passage of a system of transient flows. Plateaus in the cosmic ray intensity-time profile were associated with the passage of systems of corotating streams.

    Radial and latitudinal variations of the interplanetary magnetic field (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: This paper presents observations of the radial and latitudinal variations of the interplanetary magnetic field measured by the Voyager 1 (V1) and Voyager 2 (V2) spacecraft from mid-1977 to mid-1985. Observations of the radial variation of the large-scale magnetic field strength in the ecliptic agree with the predictions of Parker's (1958, 1963) model when temporal variations in the magnetic field and bulk speed are taken into account. The latitudinal variation of the magnetic field observed by V1 is in agreement with the predictions of Parker's model to first approximation. The magnetic field strength at higher latitudes is somewhat lower than expected on the basis of observations made in the ecliptic, but this could be due to an increase in bulk speed and/or a decrease of solar magnetic field strength with latitude. Fluctuations in the strength of the magnetic field are small compared to the large-scale field itself, and they decrease in amplitude with increasing distance approximately as R exp -1/4 . Fluctuations in the components are relatively large, and they make a significant contribution to the mean field that is not described by Parker's model.
