Description
The recent rapid transit of Ulysses from the south polar to the north polar region has confirmed the earlier finding by the COsmic-ray and Solar-Particle INvestigations (COSPIN) international consortium and has yielded additional discoveries that are important for understanding heliospheric modulation. High-resolution isotopic measurements of Fe and Ni on Ulysses show that the source composition of these cosmic-ray nuclei is not neutron rich for these elements and is close to solar-system composition
