    The sun at minimum activity: Results from the CELIAS experiment on SOHO (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-12-03
    Description: The charge element and isotope analysis system (CELIAS) experiment, designed to continuously measure the composition of the solar wind and solar suprathermal particles, is presented. Information on proton velocity, kinetic temperature, density and out-of-ecliptic flow angle is obtained. A preliminary statistical analysis of proton parameters and freeze-in temperatures, obtained during the first 18 months of the operation of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), is presented. The first determinations of neon isotopic abundances with CELIAS yielded an excellent agreement with the Apollo-foil experiment. The magnesium isotopic composition in the solar wind agrees with the data acquired from earth.

    Elemental composition before, during and after the January 6, 1997, CME event measured by CELIAS/SOHO (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-12-03
    Description: Using solar wind particle data from the charge, element and isotope analysis system (CELIAS) experiment on the SOHO mission, densities of the elements O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ca, and Fe are derived, and their abundance is analyzed before, during and after the 6 Janaury 1997 coronal mass ejection event (CME). In the interstream and coronal hole regions before and after this event, typical solar wind abundances for the elements investigated were found. However, during the passage of the coronal mass ejection and during the passage of the erupted filament, the elemental composition differed markedly from typical solar wind. For the passage of the CME and for the passage of the erupted filament, a mass-dependent enhancement of the elements was found, with a monotonic increase towards heavier elements. Si/O and Fe/O ratios of the order of one during these time periods were observed.

    Iron charge states in the solar wind as measured by SMS on Wind (1995)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The Wind spacecraft was launched in November 1994. In the first half of 1995 it was in the interplanetary medium upstream of the Earth. The Solar Wind and Suprathermal Ion Composition Experiment (SMS) on Wind consists of three sensors, the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS), the Suprathermal Ion Composition Spectrometer (STICS), and the high mass resolution spectrometer (MASS). All three instruments utilize electrostatic deflection combined with time-of-flight measurement. The data from these three sensors allows the determination of the ionic composition of the solar wind in a variety of solar wind conditions over a large energy/charge range (0.5 to 230 keV/e). We have examined the Wind database for time periods conducive to observing solar wind iron. With the high mass resolution of the MASS spectrometer (M/Delta-M greater than 100) iron is easily identified while the electrostatic deflection provides information concerning the mass/charge distribution. We present here the relative abundance of iron charge states in the solar wind near 1 AU.

    Particles upstream of the pre-dawn bow shock - ISEE-3 observations (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The first observations of energetic ions (equal to or greater than 30 keV) in the region upstream of the pre-dawn bow shock (X between 0 and -60 Re inclusively) are presented. The intensity in this region is controlled by the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and is maximized when the IMF is around the spiral direction. The particle distributions are highly anisotropic with the anisotropy directed perpendicular to the magnetic field. In the E x B frame this perpendicular anisotropy is conserved and it is argued that the distribution is pancake-like. This indicates that the energetic particles in the pre-dawn upstream region have their origin in the near-earth upstream region, from where they are convected by the solar wind perpendicular to the magnetic field. It is therefore concluded that acceleration occurs mainly near the nose of the bow shock, and particle acceleration at the distant bow shock is weak.

    The ISPM solar-wind ion composition spectrometer (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The International Solar Polar Mission (ISPM) Solar-Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer which determines elemental and ionic-charge composition, and the temperatures and mean speeds of all major solar-wind ions, from H through Fe, at solar wind speeds ranging from 145 km/sec (protons) to 1352 km/sec (Fe+8) is described. The instrument, which covers an energy per charge range from 110 eV/q to 66.7 keV/q in 13 min, combines an electrostatic analyzer with postacceleration, followed by a time-of-flight and energy measurement. Conditions and processes in the region of the corona where the solar wind is accelerated; location of the source regions of the solar wind in the corona; coronal heating processes; the extent and causes of variations in the composition of the solar atmosphere; plasma processes in the solar wind; acceleration of energetic particles in the solar wind; the thermalization and acceleration of interstellar ions in the solar wind, and their composition; and the composition and behavior of the plasma in the Jovian magnetosphere are studied.

    Analysis of the Giacobini-Zinner bow wave (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-29
    Description: The cometary bow wave of P/Giacobini-Zinner was analyzed using the ICE field and particle observations to determine if it is a shock. Changes in the magnetic field and plasma flow velocities from upstream to downstream were analyzed to determine the direction of the normal and the propagation velocity of the bow wave. The velocity was compared with the fast magnetosonic wave speed upstream to derive the Mach number and establish whether it is supersonic, i.e., a shock, or subsonic, i.e., a large amplitude wave. The measurements were compared with values derived from a Rankine-Hugoniot analysis. The results indicate that inbound the bow wave is a shock with M = 1.5. Outbound, a subsonic Mach number is obtained. However, arguments that the bow wave is also likely to be a shock at this location are presented.

    Analysis of the Giacobini-Zinner bow wave (1986)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The cometary bow wave of P/Giacobini-Zinner has been analyzed using the complete set of ICE field and particle observations to determine if it is a shock. Changes in the magnetic field and plasma flow velocities from upstream to downstream have been analyzed to determine the direction of the normal and the propagation velocity of the bow wave. The velocity has then been compared with the fast magnetosonic wave speed upstream to derive the Mach number and establish whether it is supersonic, i.e., a shock, or subsonic, i.e., a large amplitude wave. The various measurements have also been compared with values derived from a Rankine-Hugoniot analysis. The results indicate that, inbound, the bow wave is a shock with M = 1.5. Outbound, a subsonic Mach number is obtained, however, arguments are presented that the bow wave is also likely to be a shock at this location.

    Energetic ion and electron beams at the plasma-sheet boundary in the distant tail (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Several energetic particle bursts observed by ISEE 3 in the distant tail are analyzed. The energetic particle data are supplemented by the electron plasma and magnetic field measurements. These bursts are characterized by large velocity-dispersion effects, with energetic electrons observed first, followed by ions with continuously lower velocities. Both ions and electrons stream in the tailward direction. Protons and alpha particles of the same energy per nucleon are observed at the same time. The dispersion effects are observed in reverse order when the spacecraft leaves from the boundary layer into the lobe. No obvious signature indicating the passage of a plasmoid has been observed in the particle or magnetic field data during or immediately following these bursts. It is concluded that these beams at the plasma-sheet boundary originate at a steady source, presumably close to a neutral line, and not at a time varying source. The velocity filter effect in a dawn-dusk electric field arranges particles with progressively lower velocity further inside the wedge-shaped region of reconnected field lines. The plasma electron distribution exhibits a tailward directed heat flux within this layer.

    Solar wind iron and oxygen charge states and relative abundances measured by SWICS on Ulysses (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: We present the results of a survey of iron and oxygen charge state distributions as detected by the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer on the Ulysses spacecraft. The results are categorized in terms of the ionization temperature determined every approximately 13 minute instrument cycle from the O(+7) to O(+6) ratio. Our preliminary Fe/O abundance ratio is 0.12 averaged over this 3 month survey. The Fe charge state distributions accumulated during times of high oxygen ionization temperatures are clearly nonisothermal.
