The orientation of the local interstellar magnetic field.
The orientation of the local interstellar magnetic field introduces asymmetries in the heliosphere that affect the location of heliospheric radio emissions and the streaming direction of ions from the termination shock of the solar wind. We combined observations of radio emissions and energetic particle streaming with extensive three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic computer simulations of magne...
متن کاملLocal Interstellar Matter : The Apex Cloud Priscilla
Several nearby individual low column density interstellar cloudlets have been identified based on kinematical features evident in high-resolution Ca observations near the Sun. One of these cloudlets, the ‘Apex Cloud” (AC), is within 5 pc of the Sun in the solar apex direction. The question of which interstellar cloud will constitute the next galactic environment of the Sun in principle can be d...

متن کاملThe Local Interstellar Ultraviolet Radiation Field
I have used theHipparcos Input Catalogue, together with Kurucz model stellar atmospheres and information on the strength of the interstellar extinction, to create a model of the expected intensity and spectral distribution of the local interstellar ultraviolet radiation field, under various assumptions concerning the albedo a of the interstellar grains. (This ultraviolet radiation field is of p...
متن کاملTriangulation of the Interstellar Magnetic Field
Determining the direction of the local interstellar magnetic field (LISMF) is important for understanding the heliosphere’s global structure, the properties of the interstellar medium, and the propagation of cosmic rays in the local galactic medium. Measurements of interstellar neutral atoms by Ulysses for He and by SOHO/SWAN for H provided some of the first observational insights into the LISM...
