    The IMPACT Solar Wind Electron Analyzer (SWEA): Reconstruction of the SWEA Transmission Function by Numerical Simulation and Data Analysis

    The IMPACT SWEA instruments on board the twin STEREO spacecraft detect the solar wind electrons with energies between 1 and 2000 eV. The instruments provide 3-dimensional velocity distributions, pitch angle di...

    Temporal Evolution of the Solar-Wind Electron Core Density at Solar Minimum by Correlating SWEA Measurements from STEREO A and B

    The twin STEREO spacecraft provide a unique tool to study the temporal evolution of the solar-wind properties in the ecliptic since their longitudinal separation increases with time. We derive the characterist...

    The Apparent Layered Structure of the Heliospheric Current Sheet: Multi-Spacecraft Observations

    Multiple current sheet crossings are ubiquitous features of the solar wind associated with high-beta plasma sheets, notably during the passage of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS). As the HCS is being conve...

    Observation of a Complex Solar Wind Reconnection Exhaust from Spacecraft Separated by over 1800 R E

    We analyze Wind, ACE, and STEREO (ST-A and ST-B) plasma and magnetic field data in the vicinity of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossed by all spacecraft between 22:15 UT on 31 March and 01:25 UT on 1 Apr...

    Crossing the Heliospheric Current Sheet

    The heliospheric current sheet (HCS), the largest coherent structure in the heliosphere, is a wavy surface separating the two opposite magnetic polarity hemispheres of the heliosphere. Joint WIND magnetic fiel...
