Brandt, John C.; Snow, Martin

Images of comets de Vico in 1995, Hyakutake in 1996, and Hale-Bopp in 1997 taken by observers in the Ulysses Comet Watch clearly show plasma tail properties reflecting the demarcation of the solar wind into distinct equatorial and polar regions with the boundary determined by the maximum extent of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS). Generally, (…
