尤利西斯号航天器是第一个绕太阳两极运行并在这些高日光纬度探索日光层的航天器。它现已完成两次快速纬度扫描,一次在太阳活动极小期,一次在太阳活动极大期。自 1990 年 10 月发射以来,这项任务已经带来了多项令人惊讶的发现,涉及高能粒子、宇宙射线、木星电子、太阳风、日光层磁场和日光层的整体特征。这篇综述主要从观测和理论的角度讨论宇宙射线和其他带电粒子的传播和调制,重点是从探索内日光层到高日光纬度的过程中所学到的知识。这是针对太阳最小和最大条件完成的。该评论总结了迄今为止从尤利西斯任务中获得的主要科学发现和见解。
The Ulysses spacecraft has been the first to orbit the Sun over its poles and to explore the heliosphere at these high heliolatitudes. It has now completed two fast latitude scans, one at solar minimum and one at solar maximum. Since its launch in October 1990, this mission has led to several surprising discoveries concerning energetic particles, cosmic rays, Jovian electrons, the solar wind, the heliospheric magnetic field and the global features of the heliosphere. This review addresses mainly the propagation and modulation of cosmic rays and other charged particles, from both an observational and theoretical point of view, with emphasis on what has been learned from exploring the inner heliosphere to high heliolatitudes. This is done for solar minimum and maximum conditions. The review is concluded with a summary of the main scientific discoveries and insights gained so far from the Ulysses mission.
