EDITORIAL INFORMATION

The Ulysses mission has explored and charted the heliosphere around the minimum in the 11-year cycle of solar activity from a high-latitude perspective. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive review of the results of that mission. Written by members of the Ulysses science team, the book furthers our knowledge of the heliosphere around solar maximum. Among other topics, the book covers the solar wind; the large- and small-scale structure of the heliosphere in 3 dimensions; cosmic rays and energetic particles; interstellar aspects, including cosmic dust. This is the first book to describe the heliosphere from the unique vantage point of the Ulysses mission, synthesising a wide range of scientific results relating to this region of space.
