Solar and Heliospheric Processes from Solar Wind Composition Measurements
Geiss, J.; Gloeckler, G.; von Steiger, R.
Composition measurements in the solar wind provide important information for solar system science and astrophysics. We show in this report how ion composition data are used to investigate chromospheric and coronal processes. Isotopic abundances in the Sun can best be derived from solar wind measurements. 3He/4He is an isotopi…
The Heliosphere and the Ulysses Mission
Balogh, A.
The interplanetary medium consists primarily of the supersonic solar wind, carrying the frozen-in magnetic field extending from the solar corona. The properties of this medium are controlled by the state of the corona and by dynamic processes occurring in the medium itself. As a result, there are significant variations in those properties as a fun…

Recent Magnetic Field Results from the Galileo and Ulysses Spacecraft
Southwood, D. J.
Both Galileo and Ulysses spacecraft have made important exploratory measurements before either start the main phase of their missions. Galileo has flown by several objects in the inner Solar System before its reaching Jupiter. The most notable results from the spacecraft magnetometer are the detection of magnetic field deflections in the vicinity …
