Dependence of Heliospheric Lyα Absorption on the Interstellar Magnetic Field
We use newly developed 3D kinetic MHD models of the heliosphere to predict heliospheric H I Lyα absorption for various lines of sight. These predictions are compared with actual Lyα spectra from the Hubble Space Telescope, many of which have yielded previous detections of heliospheric absorption. We find that the absorption predicted by the models is weakly affected by both the magnitude and or...
متن کاملHELIOSPHERIC, ASTROSPHERIC, AND INTERSTELLAR Lya ABSORPTION TOWARD 36 OPHIUCHI1
We use high-resolution UV spectra taken by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph instrument on board the Hubble Space Telescope to study the 5.5 pc line of sight to the K0 V star 36 Oph A. The one interstellar component detected for this line of sight has a velocity inconsistent with the local interstellar cloud (LIC) Ñow vector but consistent with the Ñow vector of the so-called G cloud, a ...
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...
متن کاملThe Heliospheric Magnetic Field over the Hale Cycle
The concept that open magnetic flux of the Sun (rooted with one and only one footpoint at the Sun) is a conserved quantity is taking root in the heliospheric community. Observations show that the Sun’s open magnetic flux returns to the baseline from one solar minimum to the next. The temporary enhancement in the 1 AU heliospheric magnetic flux near solar maximum can be accounted for by the temp...
متن کاملVariation of SEP event occurrence with heliospheric magnetic field
Recent work based on nitrate abundances in polar ice cores has shown that large fluence solar energetic (E > 30 MeV) particle (LSEP) events during the spacecraft era of observations (1960-present) are diminished in comparison with those of some preceding eras detected in the ice cores dating back to 1561. McCracken et al. [McCracken, K.G.. Dreschhoff, G.A.M., Smart, D.F., Shea. M.A. A study of ...
