Microstreams in the Ulysses Observations of Solar Wind from Coronal Holes
During its south polar passage in 1994, the Ulysses spacecraft continuously sampled the properties.

Theoretical Plasma Distribution Consistent With Ulysses Magnetic Field Observations in a High-Speed Solar Wind Tangential Discontinuity
The overall multi-layer structure of the magnetic field observed by Ulysses across a broad solar wind tangential discontinuity can be reproduced fairly well by means of a kinetic model. Such a simulation provides complementary information about the velocity distribution functions, which are not always known due to the low time resolution inherent in plasma measurements. The success of such a simulation proves that our kinetic model can be used as a realistic basis for further studies of the structure and stability of tangential discontinuities.

A Pair of Forward and Reverse Slow-Mode Shocks Detected by Ulysses at ~5AU
We report the first finding of a pair of forward and reverse slow-mode shocks in the distant heliosphere using plasma and magnetic field data from the Ulysses spacecraft located at 5.3 AU and 9 degrees South heliolatitude.

Evidence, from Pioneer 10/11, Galileo, and Ulysses Data, for an Anomalous, Weak, Long-Range Acceleration
Radio metric data from the Pioneer 10/11, Galileo, and Ulysses Spacecraft indicate an apparent anomalous, constant, acceleration acting on the spacecraft with a magnitude ~8.5 x 10(sup -8) cm/s(sup 2), directed towards the Sun.

Identification of Solar Wind Stream Interfaces: A Comparison of Ulysses Plasma and Composition Measurements
Measurements of the specific entropy argument of solar wind protons, T/n superscript y-1, reveal that nearly every occurrence of a high-speed stream seen at Ulysses in 1992-3 is characterized by an abrupt interface at its trailing edge.

A Review of Discontinuities (and Alfven Waves) in Interplanetary Space: Ulysses Results
The Ulysses mission explored for the first time our heliosphere at all latitudes up to +/-80 and therefore has been an ideal mission to study potential gradients in heliolatitude of discontinuity occurrence rates and types.

Ejecta and Transient Shocks: Ulysses' In-Ecliptic Observations: 1 to 5 AU
During its travel to Jupiter (1 to 5.4 AU) Ulysses detected 25 ejecta signatures attributed to interplanetary counterparts of coronal mass ejections and 32 transient forward shocks.

Interplanetary Discontinuities and Alfven Waves at High Heliographic Latitudes, Ulysses
This paper presents results from the first statistical study of interplanetary directional discontinuities at high heliographic latitudes. Ulysses data showed that the rate of occurrence of interplanetary discontinuities (ROIDs) increased dramatically from the ecliptic plane to high (-80 degrees) heliographic latitudes. The high speed streams included Alfven waves.

Interplanetary Shock Waves and Large-Scale Structures: Ulysses' Observations in and out of the Ecliptic Plane
A study is presented of 153 fast shock waves and their relation to other large-scale features in the solar wind: corotating interaction regions (CIRs), interplanetary counterparts of coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and the magnetic sector structure, observed by Ulysses from October 1990 to the south solar pass in the summer of 1994.

Identification of Trailing Edge Solar Wind Stream Interfaces: A Comparison of Ulysses Plasma and Composition Measurements
In early 1992, at 13 degrees south latitude, in transit to the southern solar pole, Ulysses began to sample a recurrent high-speed solar wind stream which emanated from a coronal hole at the south pole of the Sun.

Recent Observations of the Heliospheric Magnetic Field at Ulysses: Return to Low Latitude
Ulysses recently completed a second slow latitude scan of the northern heliosphere, a descent from 80.2 degrees North in July 1995 to the solar equator in December 1997.

Properties of Hydromagnetic Waves in the Polar Caps: Ulysses
Properties of the large amplitude Alfven waves which are a dominant feature of the high latitude solar wind have been studied during the pole-to-pole passage of Ulysses.

Ulysses Solar Wind Plasma Observations at High Southerly Latitudes
The solar wind is an ionized gas flowing from the solar corona and consisting primarily of free electrons, protons, and doubly-ionized helium. Ulysses solar wind plasma observations through -80.2 degrees solar latitude and continuing equatorward to -40.1 degrees are summarized. Recurrent high-speed streams and corotating interaction regions dominate at mid latitudes. Observation and analysis is given.
