Angular distribution of discontinuity normals of the interplanetary magnetic field

Erdős, G.; Lukács, K.

High time resolved (6 s) magnetic field data from the Helios-1 and Ulysses spacecrafts were used to investigate MHD discontinuities in the heliosphere. The identification of discontinuities was based on the rotation of the field vectors relative to the distance to the plasma in which the vectors were supposed to be frozen. In order to obtain the r…
