Voyager’s Observations in the Vicinity of the Heliopause

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2022
Este trabajo analiza las observaciones del Voyager 2 en noviembre de 2018 y las compara con lo detectado por el Voyager 1 en las proximidades de la heliopausa en julio-agosto de 2012.

What is the heliopause? Importance of magnetic reconnection and measurement requirements

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
We highlight the importance of magnetic reconnection at the heliopause, both as one of the key processes driving the interaction between solar and interstellar media, but also as an element of the definition of the heliopause itself.

Plasma Pressures in the Heliosheath From Cassini ENA and Voyager 2 Measurements: Validation by the Voyager 2 Heliopause Crossing

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
We report “ground truth,” 28‐ to 3,500‐keV in situ ion and 5.2‐ to 55‐keV remotely sensed ENA measurements from Voyager 2/Low Energy Charged Particle detector and Cassini/Ion and Neutral Camera, respectively, that assess the components of the ion ...

Voyager observations of the interaction of the heliosphere with the interstellar medium [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research, 2013
This paper provides a brief review and update on the Voyager observations of the interaction of the heliosphere with the interstellar medium. Voyager has found many surprises: (1) a new energetic particle component which is accelerated at the termination

Distance to the IBEX Ribbon beyond the Heliopause

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Our understanding of the solar–interstellar interaction greatly improved with measurements of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) from the outer heliosphere by NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX).

Time-varying Heliospheric Distance to the Heliopause

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Letters, 2017
Using a three-dimensional MHD simulation, we examine the time-varying outer heliospheric structure and distance to the heliopause. Voyager 2 (V2) solar-wind observations show that a global merged interaction region (GMIR) with a ram-pressure of the order of several nPa normalized at 1 au enters the distant solar wind at an average rate of about one per

The heliospheric modulation of cosmic ray protons during increased solar activity: effects of the position of the solar wind termination shock and of the heliopause [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2005
The effects on the modulation of cosmic ray protons of different positions for the solar wind termination shock and for the heliopause are illustrated for moderate solar maximum conditions.

The structure of the Heliopause [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013
Voyager 1 has explored the solar wind-interstellar medium interaction region between the Terminal Shock and the Heliopause, following the intensity distribution of the shock accelerated anomalous component of cosmic rays in the MeV energy range. The sudden disappearance of this component at 121.7 AU from the sun is discussed in terms of three models ...

Are the Heliosphere, Very Local Interstellar Medium, and Local Cavity in Pressure Balance with Galactic Gravity?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Voyager spacecraft are providing the first in situ measurements of physical properties in the outer heliosphere beyond the heliopause. These data, together with data from the IBEX and Hubble Space Telescope and physical models consistent with these ...
