A weaker solar wind termination shock [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 1997 In a recent analysis of anomalous cosmic ray spectra during 1994, Stone et al. [1996] derived a position and compression ratio for the solar wind termination shock of R ≈ 85 AU and ndownstream/nupstream ≈ 2.6, respectively. This compression ratio indicates a fairly weak shock, with Mach number M ≈ 2.4 if the magnetic field can be ignored.

Evolution and Termination of the 3-D Solar Wind [PDF]
Highlights 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. As was the case with the other two sessions, it consisted of three invited talks, three oral contributions, a number of ...

A Comparison of Particle-in-cell and Hybrid Simulations of the Heliospheric Termination Shock
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We compare hybrid (kinetic proton, fluid electron) and particle-in-cell (kinetic proton, kinetic electron) simulations of the solar wind termination shock with parameters similar to those observed by Voyager 2 during its crossing.

Superposed epoch analysis of high-speed-stream effects at geosynchronous orbit: Hot plasma, cold plasma, and the solar wind [PDF]
, 2008 Superposed epoch analyses of magnetospheric plasma analyzer (MPA) data from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) satellites are performed to reveal the density, temperature and flow velocity behavior of the hot ion plasma (0.1–45 keV), the hot electron ...

OBSERVATIONS OF THE HELIOSHEATH AND SOLAR WIND NEAR THE TERMINATION SHOCK BY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 This paper describes the principal features of 24 hr averages of the magnetic field strength variations B(t) and their relationships to the plasma and energetic particles observed prior to and after the crossing of the termination shock (TS) by Voyager 2 (V2).

Solar and interplanetary particles re-accelerated at the solar wind termination shock [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 1999 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 ...
