  1. The principle of time-of-flight (TOF) instruments From the 3 independently measured quantities (E/q, τ, Etotal) the 3 desired quantities E, q, m can be uniquely derived. Ulysses SWICS

  2. The first TOF measurements revealed: There are two populations of oxygen ions in the magnetosphere: highly ionized (from solar wind) and singly ionized (from the ionosphere)

  3. The SWICS instrument on Ulysses

  4. The CTOF instrument on SOHO

  5. The CTOF instrument on SOHO

  6. TOF analyzer Electrostatic analyzer

  7. The solar wind element composition as revealed by modern TOF instrumentation on SOHO
