TL;DR: The Large Angle Spectroscopic Coronagraph (LASCO) is a three coronagraph package which has been jointly developed for the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) mission by the Naval Research Laboratory (USA), the Laboratoire d'Astronomie Spatiale (France), the Max-Planck-Institut fur Aeronomie (Germany), and the University of Birmingham (UK) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic loop behind an interplanetary shock: Voyager, Helios and IMP-8 observations
TL;DR: The flow behind an interplanetary shock was analyzed through the use of magnetic field and plasma data from five spacecraft, with emphasis on the magnetic cloud identified by a characteristic variation of the latitude angle of the magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar wind protons: Three-dimensional velocity distributions and derived plasma parameters measured between 0.3 and 1 AU
TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that a strong anisotropy in the core of proton distributions, with a temperature that is larger perpendicular rather than parallel to the magnetic field, is a persistent feature of high-speed streams, becoming most pronounced in the perihelion, or about 0.3 AU.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure and origin of magnetic clouds in the solar wind
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the structure of magnetic clouds (MCs) in the inner heliosphere and found that they can best be described as large-scale quasi-cylindrical magnetic flux tubes.
