Fe b 20 03 WHY STUDY INTERSTELLAR MATTER VERY CLOSE TO THE SUN ?
Interstellar matter (ISM) sets the boundary conditions of the heliosphere and dominates the inter-planetary medium. The heliosphere configuration has varied over recent history, as the Sun emerged from the Local Bubble and entered a turbulent outflow of cloudlets originating from the Scorpius-Centaurus Association direction. Several indicators suggest that the local interstellar magnetic field ...
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 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 کاملDoes the interstellar magnetic field follow the Chandrasekhar - Fermi law ?
We carried out 1.25 pc resolution MHD simulations of the ISM – including the large scale galactic fountain – by fully tracking the time-dependent evolution of the magnetic field and the formation of shock compressed regions in a supernova-driven ISM. The simulations show that large scale gas streams emerge, driven by SN explosions, which are responsible for the formation and destruction of shoc...
متن کاملInterstellar Dust at the Magnetic Wall of the Heliosphere . II
February 11, 2008 Two sets of data show that small interstellar grains captured in interstellar magnetic fields, → BIS, draped over the heliosphere appear to polarize the light of nearby stars. The polarizing grains couple to → BIS, while larger grains couple to the cloud velocity. The maximum polarization direction, Pmax, is offset in ecliptic longitude by ∆λ ∼ +35 from the upwind direction, a...
