Understanding how the Sun changes though its 11-year sunspot cycle
and how these changes affect the vast space around the Sun a" the
heliosphere a" has been one of the principal objectives of space
research since the advent of the space age. This book presents the
evolution of the heliosphere through an entire solar activity
cycle. The last solar cycle (cycle 23) has been the best observed
from both the Earth and from a fleet of spacecraft. Of these, the
joint ESA-NASA Ulysses probe has provided continuous observations
of the state of the heliosphere since 1990 from a unique vantage
point, that of a nearly polar orbit around the Sun. Ulyssesa (TM)
results affect our understanding of the heliosphere from the
interior of the Sun to the interstellar medium - beyond the outer
boundary of the heliosphere. Written by scientists closely
associated with the Ulysses mission, the book describes and
explains the many different aspects of changes in the heliosphere
in response to solar activity. In particular, the authors describe
the rise in solar activity from the last minimum in solar activity
in 1996 to its maximum in 2000 and the subsequent decline in
activity.
