Plasma flows in the heliosheath
[1] Voyager 2 is making the first plasma measurements in the heliosheath. The radial flow speeds in the heliosheath vary between 80 and 200 km/s with an average speed of 138 km/s. The flow in the T (azimuthal) direction is fairly constant and averages about 48 km/s; the flow direction is consistent with flow away from the heliospheric nose. Flow in the N (meridional) direction is also away from...
متن کاملTemperature Anisotropy in a Shocked Plasma: Mirror-mode Instabilities in the Heliosheath
We show that temperature anisotropies induced at a shock can account for interplanetary and planetary bow shock observations. Shocked plasma with enhanced plasma b is preferentially unstable to the mirror-mode instability downstream of a quasi-perpendicular shock and to the fire-hose instability downstream of a quasiparallel shock, consistent with magnetic fluctuations observed downstream of a ...
متن کاملPlasma near the Heliosheath: Observations and Interpretations
Voyager 2 (V2) has observed heliosheath plasma since 2007 August. The plasma flux decreases by 25% before the termination shock (TS), then, as V2 moved into the heliosheath, the plasma density, temperature, and flux all decreased by an additional factor of 2. We suggest three effects combine to cause these decreases. (1) V2 moved into the lower-flux transition region between the lowand high-spe...
متن کاملTemperature distributions of solid particles in a plasma stream
2014 An original method for the statistical analysis of the temperature of solid particles in a plasma stream is presented. The apparatus and calibration method are described. Temperature distributions of Al2O3 particles sprayed in an argon-hydrogen plasma were investigated. REVUE DE PHYSIQUE APPLIQUÉE TOME 12, SEPTEMBRE 1977, Classification Physics Abstracts 52.70
متن کاملMagnetic structures in the heliosheath
[1] We propose a solitary wave model for small scale magnetic structures observed in the solar wind and more recently in the Voyager 1 observations of the heliosheath. The model is based on the recent, fully nonlinear theory of solitary waves by McKenzie et al. (2001, 2004). Our solutions i.e., magnetic holes, humps, trains of holes and humps, are strongly nonlinear (70 to 80% change in the mag...
