Observations of the Heliosheath and Solar Wind near the Termination Shock by Voyager 2
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). The solar wind (pre-TS crossing) and heliosheath (post-TS crossing) data extend from day of year (DOY) 1 through 241, 2007 and from 2007...
متن کاملTransient intensity changes of cosmic rays beyond the heliospheric termination shock as observed at Voyager 1
[1] This paper continues our studies of temporal variations of cosmic rays beyond the heliospheric termination shock (HTS) using Voyager 1 (V1) data when V1 was beyond 94 AU. This new study utilizes cosmic ray protons and electrons of several energies. Notable transient decreases of 5–50% are observed in galactic cosmic ray nuclei and electrons at V1 shortly after similar decreases are observed...
متن کاملSpectral Evolution of Anomalous Cosmic Rays at Voyager 1 beyond the Termination Shock
When the Voyager 1 spacecraft crossed the termination shock (TS) on 2004 December 16, the energy spectra of anomalous cosmic rays (ACRs) could not have been produced by steady-state diffusive shock acceleration. However, over the next few years, in the declining phase of the solar cycle, the spectra began to evolve into the expected power-law profile. Observations at the shock led to a broad ra...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Voyager observations of energetic particles near the solar wind termination shock
Voyager 1 is observing the energy spectra of anomalous cosmic ray H, He, and O in the heliosheath. The relative abundance of H/He is 20 at 1-1.5 MeV/nuc, indicating that H pickup ions are more efficiently accelerated than was modeled from observations at higher energies. Voyager 2 began observing upstream energetic ions from the shock in late 2004 at ∼75 AU, about 10 AU closer to the Sun than o...
متن کاملHeliospheric Termination Shock Mediation by Anomalous Cosmic Rays: Insights from Recent Voyager Data
The two Voyager spacecraft provide valuable information about the energetic particle population near the termination shock (TS), such as the anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) spectra, the intensity gradients, and the radial diffusion coefficients obtained from anisotropy measurements. While the spectra and gradients have been modeled successfully using the test-particle approach, the shock modificatio...
