Exclusion of Tiny Interstellar Dust Grains from the Heliosphere [PDF]

, 2009
The distribution of interstellar dust grains (ISDG) observed in the Solar System depends on the nature of the interstellar medium-solar wind interaction.

Technology requirements of exploration beyond Neptune by solar sail propulsion [PDF]

, 2010
This paper provides a set of requirements for the technology development of a solar sail propelled Interstellar Heliopause Probe mission. The mission is placed in the context of other outer solar systems missions, ranging from a Kuiper Belt mission ...

Reconnection at the Heliopause: Comparing the Voyager 1 and 2 Heliopause Crossings

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract Voyager 1 and 2 observed very different boundary layers adjacent to their respective heliopause crossings. Voyager 1 observed a very thick boundary layer in the inner heliosheath while Voyager 2 observed a very thin boundary layer.

Unified Picture of the Local Interstellar Magnetic Field from Voyager and IBEX

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Prior to the Voyagers’ heliopause crossings, models and the community expected the magnetic field to show major rotations across the boundary. Surprisingly, the field showed no significant change in direction from the heliospheric Parker Spiral at either

Solar cycle influence on the interaction of the solar wind with Local Interstellar Cloud [PDF]

, 2005
We present results of a new time-dependent kinetic model of the H atom penetration through the solar wind - interstellar medium interaction region.

The charge-exchange induced coupling between plasma-gas counterflows in the heliosheath [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2003
Many hydrodynamic models have been presented which give similar views of the interaction of the solar wind plasma bubble with the counterstreaming partially ionized interstellar medium.

Solar ions in the heliosheath: a possible new source of heavy neutral atoms [PDF]

, 2006
We show that multiply ionized coronal C, N, O, Mg, Si, S ions carried by the solar wind and neutralized by consecutive electron captures from neutral interstellar atoms constitute an important new source of neutral atoms in the inner heliosheath, with ...

MHD flows at astropauses and in astrotails [PDF]

, 2014
The geometrical shapes and the physical properties of stellar wind -- interstellar medium interaction regions form an important stage for studying stellar winds and their embedded magnetic fields as well as cosmic ray modulation. Our goal is to provide a

Evolving outer heliosphere: Large-scale stability and time variations observed by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer [PDF]

, 2010
The first all-sky maps of Energetic Neutral Atoms (ENAs) from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) exhibited smoothly varying, globally distributed flux and a narrow ribbon of enhanced ENA emissions.

Evidence of heliopause?

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
Observations by the Voyager 1 and 2 plasma wave instruments may have provided evidence of the edge of the solar system by “remote sensing.” The two plasma wave receivers detected a weak signal near 3 kHz during late 1983 and early 1984 while the spacecraft were approximately 13 AU (Voyager 2) and 21 AU (Voyager 1) from the sun.
