Propagation of large-scale solar wind events in the outer heliosphere from a numerical MHD simulation

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2021
Voyager 1 occasionally detected sudden jumps of the local interstellar magnetic field strength since its heliopause crossing in August 2012. These events were believed to be associated with outward propagating solar wind shocks originating in the inner ...

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

Geophysical 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 ...

The "Puck" energetic charged particle detector: Design, heritage, and advancements. [PDF]

J Geophys Res Space Phys, 2016
Abstract Energetic charged particle detectors characterize a portion of the plasma distribution function that plays critical roles in some physical processes, from carrying the currents in planetary ring currents to weathering the surfaces of planetary objects.

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

Frontiers 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.

A future interstellar probe on the dynamic heliosphere and its interaction with the very local interstellar medium: In-situ particle and fields measurements and remotely sensed ENAs

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
The recently published Interstellar Probe (ISP) study report describes a pragmatic mission concept with a launch window that starts in 2036 and is expected to reach several hundreds of astronomical units past the heliopause within a time frame of ≥50 ...

On the Vitality, or Lack Thereof, in Heliospheric and Coronal Physics

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 4, Issue 1, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Heliospheric physics is the study of all phenomena in the solar wind, which carves out the heliosphere from the local interstellar medium. Coronal physics is the study of all phenomena in the solar corona, which creates the supersonic wind and all disturbances and variations contained therein.

On the Temperatures of Planetary Magnetosheaths at the Subsolar Points

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 127, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract This research explores the relationship between the temperatures of the solar corona and planetary magnetosheaths. Based on the second law of thermodynamics, the maximum temperature of the planetary magnetosheaths cannot exceed that of the solar corona.

Relating Energetic Ion Spectra to Energetic Neutral Atoms

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Heliospheric energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) originate from energetic ions that are neutralized by charge exchange with neutral atoms in the heliosheath and very local interstellar medium (VLISM).

Uncertainties in the heliosheath ion temperatures [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2018
The Voyager plasma observations show that the physics of the heliosheath is rather complex and that the temperature derived from observation particularly differs from expectations.
