Interstellar hydrogen ionization in the heliosheath [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2015 AbstractThe expanding solar wind plasma undergoes a shock transition at the interstellar boundary of the solar system and fills the inner heliosheath, the region between the termination shock and the heliopause. The nonequilibrium heliosheath plasma is a main source of energetic neutral atoms that allow remote probing of the heliospheric interface ...

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.

The Astrophysical JournalEnergetic neutral atoms (ENAs) from the heliosphere are a unique means to remotely image the boundary regions of our heliosphere. The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has been very successful in measuring these ENAs since 2008 at energies from tens ...

Turbulence, Waves, and Taylor’s Hypothesis for Heliosheath Observations
The Astrophysical JournalMagnetic field fluctuations measured in the heliosheath by the Voyager spacecraft are often characterized as compressible, as indicated by a strong fluctuating component parallel to the mean magnetic field.

PLASMA NEAR THE HELIOSHEATH: OBSERVATIONS AND MODELING [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 Sound numerical modeling is capable of providing important predictive information about the solar wind interaction with the local interstellar medium. The results of our three-dimensional simulation show a good agreement with Voyager observations from 2007 to 2010. We analyze the termination shock properties at the Voyager crossing points and juxtapose

Thermodynamics of the Inner Heliosheath
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022 Abstract We derive annual sky maps of the proton temperature in the inner heliosheath (IHS), and track their temporal evolution over the years 2009–2016 of Interstellar Boundary Explorer observations. Other associated thermodynamic parameters also determined are the density, kappa (the parameter that characterizes kappa distributions ...

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.
