earth -G density min. cylinder axis Vapp Vax sun Vsw • Assume the axial symmetric CR density distribution with the minimum along with the axis of a cylinder • Then the observed –G points toward the density minimum ( ) located on the axis • Assume the cylinder moving with the average solar wind velocity Vsw • Then the velocity Vax representing the cylinder orientation can be deduced from the apparent velocity Vapp, as • Vax =Vapp - Vsw model (1)
R earth λ -G RE density min. cylinder axis model (2) • Assume the gaussian distribution for CR density, as (1) R : distance from the cylinder axis I0 : minimum density, l: radial scale of the cylinder • Then G(RE) observed at the earth (R= RE) is… (2) RE: minimum distance between the earth & the cylinder axis • With the observed G(RE), REcan be calculated • from (2) for each set of parameters, I0 & l • Find a set of I0 & l giving the best-fit G(RE) to • the observed gradient
