内容記述 | A triaxial flux gate magnetometer (E3) was developed and operated to accurately measure the vector magnetic field onboard Helios 1 and 2. Observations of large-scale variations and sector structure confirm theoretical descriptions and compuations. Limits on the configuration of a magnetic cloud are set, and the source of at least one magnetic cloud is identified as a coronal mass ejection. Two types of interplanetary flow pattern are identified: a corotating stream and interaction region related to the boundary, and a transient flow associated with a shock wave. Discontinuities in the direction and/or strength of the magnetic field are explained. Alfven waves and magnetic turbulence are characterized by simultaneous Helios 1 and 2 observations. |
