On the injection problem at the solar wind termination shock [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2005
This article presents an integrated analytical model on the injection efficiencies of the different ion species of the Anomalous component of the Cosmic Rays (ACRs) at the solar wind termination shock.

Mediation of the solar wind termination shock by non-thermal ions [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2008
Broad regions on both sides of the solar wind termination shock are populated by high intensities of non- thermal ions and electrons. The pre- shock particles in the solar wind have been measured by the spacecraft Voyager 1 ( refs 1 - 5) and Voyager 2 ...

An asymmetric solar wind termination shock

open access: yesNature, 2008
Voyager 2 crossed the solar wind termination shock at 83.7 au in the southern hemisphere, ~10 au closer to the Sun than found by Voyager 1 in the north.

Evolution and termination of the 3-D solar wind [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1998
The second session of the Joint Discussion 19 (Physics of the Sun and Heliosphere in the Era of Space Probes; Scientific Highlights of SOHO, ULYSSES and YOHKOH) was devoted to the Evolution and Termination of the 3-D Solar Wind.

Solar and Interplanetary Particles Re-Accelerated at the Solar Wind Termination Shock [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Space Research, 1995
We consider the acceleration of solar/interplanetary particles at the solar wind termination shock, predict the expected composition and energy spectra, and discuss possible observable ...

Energy Distribution of Pickup Ions at the Solar Wind Termination Shock

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2018
In-situ measurements taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft suggest that the solar wind termination shock is significantly affected by the presence of pickup ions that are produced in the inner heliosphere due to charge exchange between interstellar neutrals ...

Termination shock response to large-scale solar wind fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1994
The analysis of data recorded by the Voyager 2 spacecraft indicates the presence of large-scale fluctuations in the solar wind ram pressure on the time scale of tens of days.

ION SUPERDIFFUSION AT THE SOLAR WIND TERMINATION SHOCK [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2009
We investigate the propagation of 0.54-3.5 MeV ions accelerated at the termination shock of the solar wind. Data are from Voyager 2 and refer to a time interval about one year long, just before the Voyager 2 termination shock crossing at the end of 2007 August, at roughly 83.7 AU.

Voyager 2 observation of the multifractal spectrum in the heliosphere and the heliosheath [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2013
We look in detail at the multifractal scaling of the fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field strength as measured onboard Voyager 2 in the entire heliosphere and even in the heliosheath.

A Three-dimensional Model for the Evolution of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Outer Heliosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a time-dependent, three-dimensional single-fluid model for the transport of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence that is self-consistently evolving with a dynamic large-scale solar wind in the outer heliosphere.
