The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract Observations from the Ion and Neutral Camera (INCA) on the Cassini mission of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) at ∼10 keV and ∼45 keV showed significant correlated time variations over relatively fast 2–3 yr timescales. These observed ENA variations have been interpreted as indicating limited scale lengths of ∼80–120 au along the ...

A predicted small and round heliosphere [PDF]
, 2018 The shape of the solar wind bubble within the interstellar medium, the so-called heliosphere, has been explored over six decades(1-7). As the Sun moves through the surrounding partially-ionized medium, neutral hydrogen atoms penetrate the heliosphere ...

, 2011 Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale explosions on the Sun that expel plasma and magnetic field into the heliosphere. The interplanetary counterparts of CMEs, termed interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs), are often directly observed by spacecraft ...

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2013 The Sun’s long-term magnetic variability is the primary driver of space climate. This variability is manifested not only in the long-observed and dramatic change of magnetic fields on the solar surface, but also in the changing solar radiative output ...

Cosmic rays in the heliosphere
, 1987 The different types of cosmic ray particles and their role in the heliosphere are briefly described. The rates of various energetic particles were examined as a function of time and used to derive various differential energy gradients.

Solar-Terrestrial PhysicsPhenomena in the outer layer of the solar atmosphere, the heliosphere, including the supersonic solar wind, the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) carried by it, and cosmic rays propagating in the heliosphere are important for many processes occurring in ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 1987 The outflowing solar wind interacts with the local interstellar medium to form the heliospheric cavity within which the solar wind is supersonic. Because the interstellar medium is moving with respect to the Sun, and because the solar wind has a latitude dependence, the heliosphere is asymmetric. The flow of the interstellar medium past the heliosphere

The Heliosphere Through the Solar Activity Cycle
, 2006 Understanding how the Sun changes though its 11-year sunspot cycle and how these changes affect the vast space around the Sun the heliosphere has been one of the principal objectives of space research since the advent of the space age. This book presents

Globally distributed energetic neutral atom maps for the "croissant" heliosphere [PDF]
, 2018 A recent study by Opher et al. suggested the heliosphere has a "croissant" shape, where the heliosheath plasma is confined by the toroidal solar magnetic field.

The Astrophysical JournalMagnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are a useful tool for understanding the propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the inner heliosphere and their interaction with the background solar wind.
