Comparison of the times of occurrence of a newly discovered type of disturbance in the interplanetary magnetic field at 0.72 astronomical unit with the passage of the small Venus-crossing asteroid, 2201 Oljato, reveals a possible association, but the source of these disturbances appears to be associated with outgassing material in the Oljato orbit some distance behind the asteroid and not with the asteroid itself. This suggested association can account for one quarter of the total number of… Expand

      Interplanetary field enhancements in the solar wind: Evidence for cometesimals at 0.72 and 1.0 AU?
      Abstract A new class of interplanetary magnetic disturbance has been identified which consists of a nearly symmetric rise and fall of the magnetic field surrounding a cusp-shaped maximum. These… Expand
      Interplanetary magnetic field enhancements: Evidence for solar wind dust trail interactions
      Abstract A class of unusual magnetic disturbances has been discovered in which the interplanetary magnetic field increases to a sharp maximum and then decreases almost symmetrically. Initially these… Expand
      Interplanetary flux enhancements: Comparison with cometary models and observations
      Interplanetary field enhancements (IFE's) are unusual nearly symmetric increases in the strength of the interplanetary magnetic field lasting tens of minutes to hours. Examples of interplanetary… Expand
      Interplanetary magnetic field enhancements: Further evidence for an association with Asteroid 2201 Oljato
      In 1980 and 1983 the asteroid 2201 Oljato passed inside the orbit of Venus, respectively 65 and 21 days prior to the passage of Venus, apparently causing disturbances in the interplanetary magnetic… Expand
      Interplanetary Field Enhancements: Observations from 0.3 AU to 1 AU
      Interplanetary Field Enhancements are rare but very distinct increases in the magnetic field strength, reaching a nearly symmetric cusp‐shaped peak. These increases are usually accompanied by a thin… Expand
      Interplanetary field enhancements in the solar wind: Statistical properties at 0.72 AU

      Strong interplanetary field enhancements at Ulysses—evidence of dust trails' interaction with the solar wind?
      Interplanetary field enhancements were first discovered in the vicinity of Venus. These events are characterised by an increase in the magnitude of the heliospheric magnetic field with a… Expand
      A high‐latitude interplanetary magnetic field enhancement at Ulysses
      [1] An analysis is presented of data returned from the Ulysses spacecraft on 28 July 2000, when it encountered a highly unusual event in the high-latitude solar wind. The event is identified as a… Expand
      Interplanetary field enhancements travel at the solar wind speed
      [1] Interplanetary Field Enhancements (IFEs) are cusp-shaped increases and decreases in the interplanetary field, accompanied by a thin current sheet. They can last many hours and even the strongest… Expand
      Possible Distortion of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field by the Dust Trail of Comet 122P/de Vico
      Interplanetary field enhancements are unexplained localized increases in the heliospheric magnetic field magnitude. Four such enhancements, detected by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter and Ulysses… Expand
