Plasma and Flows in the Heliosheath
Voyager 2 (V2) is now 20 AU deep into the heliosheath; if the heliosheath width were similar to that in the Voyager 1 (V1) direction, then V2 is 2/3 of the way to the heliopause. We present recent V2 observations, compare with observations from V1, and compare with model predictions.

Toward Interpreting the IBEX Ribbon with Mirror Diffusion in Interstellar Turbulent Magnetic Fields
We investigate the role of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence measured by Voyager in the very local interstellar medium (VLISM) in modeling the Interstellar Boundary Explorer ribbon.

The heliospheric modulation of cosmic ray protons during increased solar activity: effects of the position of the solar wind termination shock and of the heliopause [PDF]
The effects on the modulation of cosmic ray protons of different positions for the solar wind termination shock and for the heliopause are illustrated for moderate solar maximum conditions.

Turbulence in the Outer Heliosheath
Abstract We present in situ observations of magnetic turbulence in the draped interstellar magnetic field measured by Voyager 1 during an undisturbed interval from 2015.3987 to 2016.6759 confirming the existence of the turbulence observed previously from 2013.3593 to 2014 ...

Interaction of Inner Heliosheath Ions with Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves
Inner heliosheath (IHS) ions are expected to be exposed to various waves, shocks, and turbulence, which can affect ion distributions and thus their charge-exchange rates with interstellar neutral atoms.

Temperature of the Polar Inner Heliosheath: Connection to Solar Activity
We study the thermodynamics of the plasma protons in the polar regions of the inner heliosheath (IHS) and its connection with solar activity over solar cycle 24.

COSMIC-RAY MODULATION BY THE GLOBAL MERGED INTERACTION REGION IN THE HELIOSHEATH [PDF]
It was found by Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 that the Global Merged Interaction Region (GMIR) still has effects on cosmic-ray transport in the heliosheath. The GMIR produced by the intense solar activities of 2005 September propagated into the heliosheath in ...

Energetic Neutral Atoms from the Heliosheath
We present the measurement and analysis of hydrogen energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) recorded with the NPD sensor of the ASPERA-3 instrument on board Mars Express during the cruise phase and the Mars orbit phase. We conclude that the origin of these ENAs is the inner heliosheath. The ENA energy spectra are all very similar and can be fitted well by a two-

Energetic Neutral Atom Fluxes from the Voyager 1 and 2 Directions
IBEX observes a globally distributed energetic neutral atom (ENA) flux from the heliosheath and very local interstellar medium (VLISM). Over a 14 yr period, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 traversed the heliosheath from the termination shock to the heliopause ...

Measuring energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) allows for the remote observation of ion populations from the frontiers of our heliosphere. In this study, we compare the ENAs observed with the IBEX-Lo instrument onboard the Interstellar Boundary Explorer with ...
