In 1980, 1983 and 1986 Pioneer Venus Orbiter detected sharply peaked magnetic disturbances lasting generally of the order of 15 minutes when Venus was downstream from the orbit of the asteroid 2201 Oljato. Events were much more frequent when Oljato was close to conjunction with Venus than when it was near aphelion. Similar events were seen at other ecliptic longitudes at 0.72 AU and at 1.0 AU by ISEE 3 and IMP 8, but none with such a tight grouping. Recently, such events have been found further from the Sun and well out of the ecliptic by the Ulysses spacecraft. Taking into account the radial expansion of the solar wind, these events agree in size, duration and occurrence rate with the early PVO, ISEE and IMP measurements. The Ulysses events too have been attributed to the interaction of the magnetized solar wind with interplanetay dust particles co-orbiting with their parent bodies. We compare the properties of the enhancements observed at quite different locations in the solar system, and discuss the possible processes that lead to their formation.
