Abstract

Discusses the eleven short bursts, or streams, of dust recorded on the cosmic dust detector on the Ulysses spacecraft between September of 1991 and October of 1992. The jovian origin of the streams; How their trajectories were impacted by solar wind magnetic field forces; Estimated mass and velocity of the streams; How the measurements differ from previous reports and expectations.
