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.

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 Warped Heliospheric Current Sheet
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2019AbstractThe global shape of the intersection of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) with the heliospheric equatorial plane is usually considered to be an Archimedean spiral, however, so far this has not been measured directly. We used multi‐spacecraft measurements to determine its global shape.

Pickup Protons in the Heliosphere
Space Science Reviews, 1996We calculate the conditions of pickup protons inside the termination shock. Outside 50 AU the partial pressure of pickup protons is greater than the magnetic pressure by a factor of > 10, and greater than the partial pressure of solar wind protons by a factor of > 100. Thus, pickup protons have a significant dynamical influence on the structures of the

Electron Acceleration in the Heliosphere
Space Science Reviews, 2001We review the evidence for electron acceleration in the heliosphere putting emphasis on the acceleration processes. There are essentially four classes of such processes: shock acceleration, reconnection, wave particle interaction, and direct acceleration by electric fields.

Abstract One of the most surprising results from the plasma experiment on Voyager 2 is the discovery of a quasi-periodic meridional flow with a period of about 25.5 days between 20 AU and 25 AU from 1986 to early 1988 (Lazarus and Belcher, 1988; Lazarus et al., 1988; Lazarus and McNutt, 1990).
