Weaker solar wind from the polar coronal holes and the whole Sun

DJ McComas, RW Ebert, HA Elliott… - Geophysical …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Observations of solar wind from both large polar coronal holes (PCHs) during Ulysses' third
orbit showed that the fast solar wind was slightly slower, significantly less dense, cooler, and …

Asteroids for gravitational-wave detection

MA Fedderke, PW Graham, S Rajendran - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
A major challenge for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the μ Hz band is engineering a
test mass (TM) with sufficiently low acceleration noise. We propose a GW detection concept …

Weakest solar wind of the space age and the current “mini” solar maximum

DJ McComas, N Angold, HA Elliott… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The last solar minimum, which extended into 2009, was especially deep and prolonged.
Since then, sunspot activity has gone through a very small peak while the heliospheric …

Bulk properties of the slow and fast solar wind and interplanetary coronal mass ejections measured by Ulysses: Three polar orbits of observations

RW Ebert, DJ McComas, HA Elliott… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We examined plasma and magnetic field observations from all three Ulysses polar orbits of
the Sun to study the properties of the slow and fast solar wind and interplanetary coronal …

Solar physics from unconventional viewpoints

SE Gibson, A Vourlidas, DM Hassler… - Frontiers in Astronomy …, 2018 - frontiersin.org
We explore new opportunities for solar physics that could be realized by future missions
providing sustained observations from vantage points away from the Sun-Earth line. These …

Global MHD modeling of the solar corona and inner heliosphere for the whole heliosphere interval

P Riley, R Lionello, JA Linker, Z Mikic, J Luhmann… - Solar Physics, 2011 - Springer
In an effort to understand the three-dimensional structure of the solar corona and inner
heliosphere during the Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI), we have developed a global …

If the Sun is so quiet, why is the Earth ringing? A comparison of two solar minimum intervals

SE Gibson, JU Kozyra, G de Toma… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Observations from the recent Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI) solar minimum campaign
are compared to last cycle's Whole Sun Month (WSM) to demonstrate that sunspot numbers …

The interstellar H flow: Updated analysis of SOHO/SWAN data

R Lallement, E Quémerais, D Koutroumpa… - AIP Conference …, 2010 - pubs.aip.org
We update two kinds of results obtained with the SWAN instrument on board SOHO. First,
we use H cell data recorded in 2001 and derive the H flow direction in the same way the …

Solar cycle evolution of the solar wind speed distribution from 1985 to 2008

M Tokumaru, M Kojima, K Fujiki - Journal of Geophysical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The evolution of solar wind speed distribution during the period 1985–2008, which covers
two solar cycles (22 and 23), has been investigated using multistation interplanetary …

Quasi‐thermal noise spectroscopy: The art and the practice

N Meyer‐Vernet, K Issautier… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
