The STEREO heliospheric imager: how to detect CMEs in the heliosphere
Advances in Space Research, 2005Abstract The STEREO Heliospheric Imager is a wide-angle imaging system that will enable, for the first time, a view of Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in a field of view which also encompasses the Earth. Twin views from widely spaced platforms, combined with the out of Sun–Earth line perspective allow a unique and powerful tool for the ...

In explaining and describing the forces that shape the bubble of solar wind surrounding the Sun, there is a dearth of information. But observations from space are alleviating this situation. Three spacecraft moving away from the Sun-Pioneer 10 and Voyagers 1 and 2-are expected to penetrate the boundaries of the heliosphere within the next few years ...

The paleo-cosmic ray records are used to study the properties of the heliosphere and solar processes over the past 9300 years. They show that both varied greatly over that time, ranging from ∼26 “Grand Minima” of duration 50–100 yr when the Sun was inactive, to periods similar to the past 50 years of strong solar activity.

Is the heliospheric interface submagnetosonic? Consequences for the LISM presence in the heliosphere
Advances in Space Research, 1986Abstract Based on our best knowledge of the physical parameters of the LISM, one comes to the conclusion that for the solar system a submagnetosonic configuration of the plasma interface between the LISM and the expanding solar wind plasma is established extending to some 1000 AU distance upwind from the sun.

The Sun is our star. It provides the energy that makes life’s existence on Earth possible. The main zones of the observed Sun are the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. Their composition, structure, and peculiarities are intrinsically related with the interior where nuclear fusion occurs. Solar activity includes an 11-year solar cycle and different

Most of astrophysical shocks are collisionless, where the collective electromagnetic interaction plays the essential role in the dissipation process and results in a large deviation of particle phase-space distribution from the thermal equilibrium. An ideal laboratory for collisionless shocks is the heliosphere, in which shocks are formed ahead of ...

With very few exceptions, almost all models describing the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) are essentially steady-state. However, the solar wind ram pressure varies on an 11 year solar cycle period, and the solar wind is traversed by numerous shock waves.
