The Twist of the Draped Interstellar Magnetic Field Ahead of the Heliopause: A Magnetic Reconnection Driven Rotational Discontinuity
M. Opher, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +2
Based on the difference between the orientation of the interstellar and the solar magnetic fields, there was an expectation that the magnetic field direction would rotate…
