Solar wind thermal electrons in the ecliptic plane between 1 and 4 AU: Preliminary results from the Ulysses radio receiver. Geophysical Research Letters 19: doi: 10.1029/92GL00784. issn: 0094-8276. |

The radio receiver of the Unified Radio and Plasma (URAP) experiment aboard the Ulysses spacecraft records spectra of the quasi-thermal plasma noise. The interpretation of these spectra allows the determination of the total electron density Ne and of the Cold (core) electron temperature Tc in the solar wind. A single power law does not fit the variations of Ne which result from the contribution from different solar wind structures. The distribution of the values of Tc suggests that, on the average, the solar wind is nearly isothermal. ¿American Geophysical Union 1992 |
