In-Situ Solar Wind and Magnetic Field Signatures of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections
TL;DR: The heliospheric counterparts of CMEs at the Sun, interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), can be identified in situ based on a number of magnetic field, plasma, compositional and energetic particle signatures as well as combinations thereof as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global magnetic field of Mercury from MESSENGER orbital observations.

TL;DR: Residuals of the net external and offset-dipole fields from observations north of 30°N yield a best-fit planetary moment of 195 ± 10 nanotesla-RM3, where RM is Mercury’s mean radius.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Using coordinated observations from instruments on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), and the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), this article evaluated the energetics of two well-observed flare/CME events on 21 April 2002 and 23 July 2002.

Investigation of the Composition of Solar and Interstellar Matter Using Solar Wind and Pickup Ion Measurements with SWICS and SWIMS on the Ace Spacecraft
George Gloeckler,J. Cain,F. M. Ipavich,E. O. Tums,Peter D. Bedini,Lennard A. Fisk,Thomas H. Zurbuchen,Peter Bochsler,J. Fischer,Robert Wimmer-Schweingruber,Johannes Geiss,R. Kallenbach +11 more
TL;DR: The solar wind ion composition spectrometer (SWICS) and the solar wind Ions mass spectrometers (SWIMS) on ACE are instruments optimized for measurements of the chemical and isotopic composition of solar and interstellar matter as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topological Evolution of a Fast Magnetic Breakout CME in Three Dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, an extended bipolar active region embedded in an oppositely directed background dipole field has all the necessary topological features required for magnetic breakout, i.e., a fan separatrix surface between the two distinct flux systems, a pair of spine fieldlines, and a true 3-dimensional coronal null point at their intersection.
