ON THE ROTATION OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD ACROSS THE HELIOPAUSE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 There was an expectation that the magnetic field direction would rotate dramatically across the heliopause (HP). This rotation was used as one of the criteria to determine if Voyager 1 (V1) had crossed the HP. Recently the Voyager team concluded that V1 crossed into interstellar space last year (Gurnett et al. 2013).

Solar sail mission applications and future advancement [PDF]
, 2010 Solar sailing has long been envisaged as an enabling technology. The promise of open-ended missions allows consideration of radically new trajectories and the delivery of spacecraft to previously unreachable or unsustainable observation outposts.

Magnetic Reconnection in the Space Sciences: Past, Present, and Future
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 125, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Magnetic reconnection converts, often explosively, stored magnetic energy to particle energy in space and in the laboratory. Through processes operating on length scales that are tiny, it facilitates energy conversion over dimensions of, in some cases, hundreds of Earth radii.

Instability of the heliopause driven by charge exchange interactions [PDF]
, 2014 The stability of the heliopause that separates the tenuous hot magnetized heliosheath plasma from the dense cool local interstellar magnetized plasma is examined using a fully general model that includes all the essential physical processes.

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 The heliopause (HP) separates the tenuous hot heliosheath plasma from the relatively dense cool magnetized plasma of the local interstellar medium (LISM). Fluid acceleration in the HP region can therefore drive Rayleigh-Taylor-like and Kelvin-Helmholtz- like instabilities.

An Anomalous Cosmic-Ray Mediated Termination Shock: Implications for Energetic Neutral Atoms
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The Voyager 2 crossing of the termination shock indicated that most of the upstream energy from the thermal solar wind ions was transferred to pickup ions (PUIs) and other energetic particles downstream of the shock.

A Density-Sensitive Two-Mode Membrane Model of the Heliopause based on TMFMT
The LaTeX manuscript presents a detailed TMFMT/NMFMT-based effective model of the heliopause, with explicit notation, derivation steps, and a clear separation between core theory, translation rules, and reduced closures. It develops six linked models for

Pickup Ion–Mediated Magnetic Reconnection in the Outer Heliosphere
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Pickup ions (PUIs) play a crucial role in the heliosphere, contributing to the mediation of large-scale structures such as the distant solar wind, the heliospheric termination shock, and the heliopause.

Voyager Observations of Electron Densities in the Very Local Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The two Voyager spacecraft have now been immersed in the very local interstellar medium for several years. Both spacecraft carry a plasma wave instrument capable of detecting plasma waves that yield electron density through the determination of the ...

The structure of the hydrodynamic plasma flow near the heliopause stagnation point [PDF]
, 2010 The plasma flow in the vicinity of the heliopause stagnation point in the presence of the H atom flow is studied. The plasma at both sides of the heliopause is considered to be a single fluid.
