A review of SOHO/UVCS observations of sungrazing comets
Bemporad, A.; Poletto, G.; Giordano, S. +1 more
In the last 10 years more than 1000 sungrazing comets have been discovered by the LASCO coronagraphs aboard SOHO the spacecraft; from this huge amount of data it has been possible to study the common origin of these comets and to explain some of the main peculiarities observed in their lightcurves. Moreover, the UV Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) …
An overview of Jovian electrons during the distant Ulysses Jupiter flyby
Dalla, S.; Kunow, H.; Wibberenz, G. +9 more
Since the 1970's interplanetary electrons in the MeV energy range, of Jovian origin, have been extensively studied from close to the Sun to beyond the Kronian orbit, near the ecliptic. The Ulysses trajectory allowed to study the propagation of these particles, in a wide range of heliographic latitudes. The location of Jupiter with respect to the s…
