Open AccessIn Situ Observations of Solar Wind Stream Interface Evolution
The heliocentric orbits of the two STEREO satellites are similar in radius and ecliptic latitude, with separation in longitude increasing by about 45° per year. This arrangement provides a unique opportunity t...

Open AccessTemporal Evolution of the Solar Wind Bulk Velocity at Solar Minimum by Correlating the STEREO A and B PLASTIC Measurements
The two STEREO spacecraft with nearly identical instrumentation were launched near solar activity minimum and they separate by about 45° per year, providing a unique tool to study the temporal evolution of the...

Impurity Transport in a Simulated Gas Target Divertor
Future generation fusion reactors and tokamaks will require dissipative divertors to handle the high particle and heat loads leaving the core plasma (100–400 MW/m2 in ITER). A radiative divertor is proposed as a ...
