The Polytropic Behavior of Solar Wind Protons as Observed by the Ulysses Spacecraft during Solar Minimum

The Polytropic Behavior of Solar Wind Protons as Observed by the Ulysses Spacecraft during Solar Minimum

We analyze proton bulk parameters derived from Ulysses observations and investigate the polytropic behavior of solar wind protons over a wide range of heliocentric distances and latitudes. The large-scale variations of the proton density and temperature over heliocentric distance indicate that plasm...
