Physics of the Outer Heliosphere : Proceedings of the 1st COSPAR Colloquium Held in Warsaw, Poland, 19-22 September 1989

This is the first volume in the new COSPAR Colloquia series which will provide a forum for an in-depth discussion on selective topics of importance to the international community. The International Heliospheric Study (IHS) was initially approved by COSPAR in 1982 when it was anticipated that the study would centre on the ESA/NASA Ulysses spacecraft. This mission was delayed until October 1990, but it was decided to commence the study in 1986 in order to exploit the existence of the Pioneer 10 and 11 and the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft in the outer heliosphere. The primary purpose of __Physics of the Outer Heliosphere__ is to study the three-dimensional structure of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field carried by it, the propagation of energetic solar particles throughout the heliosphere and the modulation of galactic cosmic rays by the heliosphere. This volume provides information for scientists interested in spectroscopic studies of the local interstellar medium, galactic and solar cosmic ray populations in the outer heliosphere and also plasma and magnetic field aspects of the distant solar wind Content: Sponsors Page ii Inside Front Cover Page iia Key to Photograph of Participants Page iib Front Matter Page iii Copyright page Page iv The International Heliospheric Study and the First Cospar Colloquium — Preface Page 1 D.Edgar Page Presidential Address Page 3 W.I.
