Magnetic field and particle measurements made by Voyager 2 at and near the heliopause

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2019
The heliopause is a boundary that separates the heliosheath (which contains magnetic fields and plasmas that originate in the Sun) from the interstellar medium (which contains magnetic fields and particles of stellar/interstellar origin). Observations of

Heliopause and asteropauses

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2001
In this paper I will use recent results about the heliosphere and the so-called ‘H walls’ around nearby star ‘asteropauses’ (the equivalent of the heliopause for other stars) to show new connections between heliospheric physics and other fields in space physics.

The interstellar heliopause probe

Acta Astronautica, 2005
Abstract The Interstellar Heliopause Probe (IHP) is one of four Technology Reference Studies (TRS) introduced by the Planetary Exploration Studies Section of the Science Payload & Advanced Concepts Office (SCI-A) at ESA. The overall purpose of the TRSs is to focus the development of strategically important technologies of likely relevance to future ...

The heliopause

Reviews of Geophysics, 1990
There is a growing anticipation among space scientists that a Pioneer or Voyager spacecraft will soon pass through one of the last major frontiers in the solar system—the heliospheric terminal shock. Some unknown, but perhaps small, distance beyond the terminal shock is the heliopause, marking the final boundary between solar wind and galactic plasmas ...

MHD Instabilities at the Heliopause

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2006
The heliopause (HP) is the outer edge of the heliosphere which separates the tenuous and hot heliosheath plasma on one side and the relatively dense and cool magnetized interstellar plasma on the other side. As a surface of tangential discontinuity, the HP is subjected to both Rayleigh‐Taylor (RT) and Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) instabilities.

Reconnection at the heliopause

Advances in Space Research, 1989
Abstract Views of the front side heliopause and different areas, where magnetic field reconnection takes place, are provided for various assumed orientations of the magnetic field of the local interstellar medium. Within these reconnection patches the lines of constant angle between the magnetic field of the unperturbed solar wind (standard Parker's ...

A cold plasma layer at the heliopause

Advances in Space Research, 1995
Abstract The shocked solar wind plasma cools down by charge-exchange with neutral hydrogen of LISM origin. The effect accumulates in time and leads to creation of a cold, high density plasma layer spreading out from the stagnation point along the inner surface of the heliopause.

Analytical model of the heliopause

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1996
Recent multidimensional numerical simulations [Pauls et al., 1995] of the solar wind interaction with the local interstellar medium have produced a self‐consistent description of the interstellar neutral hydrogen at the heliopause. In this report, we develop a simple one‐dimensional model of the solar wind interaction with interstellar hydrogen which ...

Two sides of the heliopause

Science China Earth Sciences, 2011
Interaction of the solar wind with the interstellar medium leads to the formation of the heliosphere and termination shock. This article addresses three aspects of the plasma and magnetic field on two sides of the heliopause: (1) The interstellar magnetic field surrounding the heliopause.

Plasma transport across the heliopause

Space Science Reviews, 1986
Existing heliopause models are critically rediscussed under the new aspect of possible plasma mixing between the solar wind and the ambient ionized component of the local interstellar medium (LISM). Based on current kinetic plasma theories, effective diffusion rates across the heliopause are evaluated for several models with turbulence caused by ...
