Solar energetic particles

The passage of the Ulysses spacecraft over the Sun's poles at solar maximum, has provided us with unique solar energetic particle (SEP) data. For the first time, SEPs were detected at high heliographic latitudes. Data from the ATs and the other instruments part of the COSPIN consortium have been extensively analysed in a series of papers listed in the ATs Publications page.
Earlier work with the ATs focussed on SEP data at ~5 AU from the Sun. This included a comparison of decay phases at 1 and 5 AU, and work on a possible ~150 day recurrence in the fluxes and anisotropy of MeV energy protons (see ATs Publications).

Jupiter encounter

ATs data from the Ulysses Jupiter encounter has been used to study plasma flows in the Jupiter magnetosphere.
