The Transport and Evolution of MHD Turbulence throughout the Heliosphere: Models and Observations [PDF]
Fluids, 2021 A detailed study of solar wind turbulence throughout the heliosphere in both the upwind and downwind directions is presented. We use an incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence model that includes the effects of electrons, the separation of ...

The Structure of the Large-Scale Heliosphere as Seen by Current Models. [PDF]
Space Sci Rev, 2022 This review summarizes the current state of research aiming at a description of the global heliosphere using both analytical and numerical modeling efforts, particularly in view of the overall plasma/neutral flow and magnetic field structure, and its ...

Inhomogeneity in the Local ISM and Its Relation to the Heliosphere. [PDF]
Space Sci Rev, 2022 This paper reviews past research and new studies underway of the local interstellar environment and its changing influence on the heliosphere. The size, shape, and physical properties of the heliosphere outside of the heliopause are determined by the ...

The Heliosphere and Local Interstellar Medium from Neutral Atom Observations at Energies Below 10 keV. [PDF]
Space Sci Rev, 2022 As the heliosphere moves through the surrounding interstellar medium, a fraction of the interstellar neutral helium, hydrogen, and heavier species crossing the heliopause make it to the inner heliosphere as neutral atoms with energies ranging from few eV

In Situ Observations of Interstellar Pickup Ions from 1 au to the Outer Heliosphere. [PDF]
Space Sci Rev, 2022 Interstellar pickup ions are an ubiquitous and thermodynamically important component of the solar wind plasma in the heliosphere. These PUIs are born from the ionization of the interstellar neutral gas, consisting of hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts ...

Turbulence in the Outer Heliosphere [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2022 The solar wind (SW) and local interstellar medium (LISM) are turbulent media. Their interaction is governed by complex physical processes and creates heliospheric regions with significantly different properties in terms of particle populations, bulk flow

Current Sheets, Plasmoids and Flux Ropes in the Heliosphere [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2021 Our understanding of processes occurring in the heliosphere historically began with reduced dimensionality - one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sketches and models, which aimed to illustrate views on large-scale structures in the solar wind ...
