The S 1 Shell and Interstellar Magnetic Field and Gas near the
The S1 subshell of the Loop I supernova remnant is consistent with observations of interstellar material close to the Sun. The magnetic field direction of the S1 shell at the Sun agrees with the field direction found from starlight polarization for stars that sample the ecliptic plane at the heliosphere nose, but is barely consistent with the field direction implied by the the offset angle betw...
متن کاملInterstellar Dust and Magnetic Field at the Heliosphere
The very weak polarization of light from nearby stars reaches a maximum near the ecliptic plane in a position offset by λ ∼ 35 from the heliosphere nose direction. The position angle for the polarization in this ecliptic-plane peak is the same for near and distant stars, to within uncertainties, indicating the interstellar magnetic field direction is relatively constant over several hundred par...
متن کاملImplications of Interstellar Dust and Interstellar Magnetic Field at the Heliosphere
Tiny interstellar dust grains causing the polarization of light from the nearest stars are deflected sideways in the outer heliosheath regions, along with the interstellar magnetic field. Observations of optical polarization of stars beyond the heliosphere nose, and at distances 5– 200 pc, suggest the direction of the upwind interstellar magnetic field is relatively constant. The polarization v...
متن کاملConnecting Interstellar Gas in and out of the Heliosphere
Interstellar material around the Sun is typical for our neighborhood of the Galaxy. The physical properties and kinematics of the partially ionized interstellar material (ISM) near the Sun are typical of warm diffuse clouds in the solar vicinity. The direction of the interstellar magnetic field at the heliosphere, the polarization of light from nearby stars, and the kinematics of nearby clouds ...
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...
