Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear collisionless perpendicular diffusion of charged particles
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear theory of the perpendicular diffusion of charged particles is presented, including the influence of parallel scattering and dynamical turbulence, and the theory shows encouraging agreement with numerical simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Observations by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer have revealed surprising features in the interaction between the heliosphere and the interstellar medium, including a bright ribbon of ENA emission, unpredicted by prior models or theories.

TL;DR: The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation on Solar Probe Plus is a four sensor instrument suite that provides complete measurements of the electrons and ionized helium and hydrogen that constitute the bulk of solar wind and coronal plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Mass-Loss Measurements from Astrospheric Lyα Absorption
Brian E. Wood,Hans-Reinhard Müller,Hans-Reinhard Müller,Gary P. Zank,J. L. Linsky,Seth Redfield +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, mass loss generally increases with coronal activity, but winds suddenly weaken at a certain activity threshold, suggesting that the magnetic field geometry associated with these spots may be inhibiting the winds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium: a theoretical perspective
TL;DR: The interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) is attracting renewed interest, thanks to the possibility that the Voyager spacecraft may, in the not too distant future, cross the heliospheric termination shock as mentioned in this paper.
