Five years of Ulysses dust data: 2000 2004

Dikarev, V.; Krüger, H.; Srama, R. +20 more

The Ulysses spacecraft has been orbiting the Sun on a highly inclined ellipse ( i=79^∘, perihelion distance 1.3 AU, aphelion distance 5.4 AU) since it encountered Jupiter in 1992. Between January 2000 and December 2004, the spacecraft completed almost an entire revolution about the Sun, passing through perihelion in May 2001 and aphelion…

Ulysses jovian latitude scan of high-velocity dust streams originating from the jovian system

Flandes, Alberto; Krüger, Harald; Hamilton, Douglas P. +4 more

In February 2004 the Ulysses spacecraft had its second flyby at Jupiter at 0.8 AU distance from the planet. Twenty-eight dust streams emanating from the jovian system were measured between November 2002 and August 2005 while the spacecraft was within 4 AU of the planet, scanning jovigraphic latitudes from +75^∘ to -25^∘. The hi…
