On-line access to the heliospheric measurements at high latitudes using the ESA archive for ULYSSES data
Sanderson, T. R.; Marsden, R. G.; Tranquille, C.
Ulysses is currently making its second orbit of the Sun, having successfully provided unique and continuous measurements of heliospheric particles and fields as a function of heliographic latitude during its first passes of the solar polar regions. The new measurements will give an insight into the dynamics of the heliosphere at solar maximum, in …
Gradients and flows in Jupiter's magnetosphere determined from the anisotropies of ~1 MeV protons
Balogh, A.; Forsyth, R. J.; Dunlop, M. W. +4 more
For near-isotropic distributions of energetic ions, the field-perpendicular first order anisotropies which occur are due both to plasma flows transverse to B, and to field-perpendicular spatial gradients in the ion flux. A technique has been developed to separate these by examining the variation of the anisotropy with ion energy. This has been app…
The discovery of 8.7 S pulsations from the ultrasoft X-ray source 4U0142+61
Mereghetti, S.; Stella, L.; Israel, G. L.
We discovered a periodicity at ~8.7 s from the X-ray sources 4U0142+61, previously considered a possible black hole candidate on the basis of its ultrasoft spectrum. The pulsations are visible only in the 1-4 keV energy range, during an observation obtained with the EXOSAT satellite in August 1984. In the same data, periodic oscillations at 25 min…
