U.S.-U.K. Cooperative Research: Observations of High Latitude Solar Wind during Polar Passage of Ulysses Using the Merlin Array

9408136 Rickett今年的奖项支持美英两国与曼彻斯特大学的安德鲁·J·莱恩就高太阳风进行合作研究。他们研究的目的是对太阳风进行星际闪烁(IPS)联合观测，当欧洲空间探测器尤利西斯于1994年夏天经过太阳南极上空时，以及1995年夏天经过太阳北极上方时。这些观测将是一项密集的全球运动的一部分，目的是在广泛的距离和纬度范围内同时观测太阳风，以便将时间演变与空间结构区分开来。该项目利用美国和英国研究人员在太阳风和射电天文观测方面的互补专业知识，并提供对英国梅林无线电天线阵列的访问。此阵列特别适用于IPS测量。调查人员将进行联合观察、数据分析和模型拟合。结果和解释将涉及其他美国和欧洲的科学家。***

9408136 Rickett This one year award supports U.S.-United Kingdom cooperative research on high solar winds with Andrew J. Lyne of the University of Manchester. The objective of their research is to conduct joint interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observations of the solar wind when the European space probe ULYSSES passes above the Sun's south pole in summer 1994 and above its north pole in summer 1995. These observations will be part of an intensive world-wide campaign to observe the solar wind simultaneously at a wide range of distances and latitudes so that temporal evolution can be distinguished from spatial structure. The project takes advantage of the complementary expertise of the U.S. and British investigators in solar winds and radio astronomical observations, and provides access to the Merlin radio antenna array in the United Kingdom. This array is especially well configured for IPS measurements. The investigators will perform joint observations, data analysis and model fitting. Results and interpretation will involve other U.S. and European scientists. ***
