Ulysses observations of Jovian relativistic electrons in the interplanetary space near Jupiter: Determination of perpendicular particle transport coefficients and their energy dependence
Qin, Gang; Heber, Bernd; Zhang, Ming +3 more
Intensities of ∼1-10 MeV relativistic electrons in several energy channels of the high-energy telescope (HET) on Ulysses increase dramatically during its flybys of Jupiter in 1992 and 2004. Perpendicular diffusion coefficients of these particles are derived by fitting the spatial profile of Jovian electron intensity to a diffusion-convection model…
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…
Localized “Jets” of Jovian electrons observed during Ulysses’ distant Jupiter flyby in 2003 2004

We report observations of strongly anisotropic flows of electron events originating from Jupiter that were observed during Ulysses distant Jupiter flyby. A scan of the period January 1, 2003 through February 8, 2005 (extending roughly 13 months before and after the closest approach of 0.8 AU in early 2004) identified a total of 15 events with sign…
