Résumé
The Ulysses observations have charted the heliosphere
around the minimum in the 11 year cycle of solar activity,
revealing the large scale properties of the heliospheric
medium and its micro-scale characteristics. This book
presents for the first time, a comprehensive review of the
results of the Ulysses mission. The first chapter provides
an overview of the region, introducing the heliosphere
prior to the Ulysses mission, and the objectives and
characteristics of the mission itself. Subsequent chapters
discuss in detail specific areas of the heliosphere,
including the solar wind, large and small scale features,
cosmic rays and energetic particles, and the observations
of interstellar gas and cosmic dust. Each of these chapters
is written by members of the Ulysses science team,
concentrating on their own areas of expertise, and is
written in a clear and accessible way.
In this book, the authors aim to summarise our understanding of the heliosphere near solar minimum and to provide the basis for understanding the more complex state of the heliosphere around solar maximum, which will be observed during the next phase of the Ulysses mission.
