ACHIEVEMENTS
- Prediction of existence of a very long Jovian magnetospheric
tail. The Voyager data have confirmed these predictions in 1981
(see, Figure. 1);
- Participation in discovery and interpretation of plasma
waves observed at Neptune by Voyager 2 in 1989;
- Model for generation of very low-frequency (2-3 kHz)
radio emissions in the outer heliosphere discovered by deep space
probes Voyager 1 and 2 in 1983-1984 and 1992-1993
(see, Figure. 2),

- Identification and analysis of fractal structure of the
solar wind (see, Figure. 3 ,
taken from Macek, Physica D 122, 254, 1998;
Macek and Redaelli, Phys. Rev. E 62, 6496, 2000).
