Prediction for IMAP: Revealing the Role of the Solar Magnetic Field in the Heliotail
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher
The classic paradigm of the heliosphere considered the solar magnetic field as having a passive role in the heliosheath, yet Opher et al. (2015) and Drake et al. (2015) suggested t…
Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen in the Heliosphere: New Horizons Observations in the Context of Models
P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, K. Dialynas +12
Interstellar neutral (ISN) hydrogen is the most abundant species in the outer heliosheath and the very local interstellar medium (VLISM). Charge exchange collisions in the outer he…
Signature of a heliotail organized by the solar magnetic field and the role of non-ideal processes in modeled IBEX ENA maps: a comparison of the BU and Moscow MHD models
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, I. Baliukin +9
Energetic neutral atom (ENA) models typically require post-processing routines to convert the distributions of plasma and H atoms into ENA maps. Here we investigate how two differe…
The development of a split-tail heliosphere and the role of non-ideal processes: a comparison of the BU and Moscow models
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, I. Baliukin +11
Global models of the heliosphere are critical tools used in the interpretation of heliospheric observations. There are several three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heliosphe…
The Confinement of the Heliosheath Plasma by the Solar Magnetic Field as Revealed by Energetic Neutral Atom Simulations
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, A. T. Michael +4
Traditionally, the solar magnetic field has been considered to have a negligible effect in the outer regions of the heliosphere. Recent works have shown that the solar magnetic fie…
Globally Distributed Energetic Neutral Atom Maps for the "Croissant" Heliosphere
Marc Kornbleuth, Merav Opher, Adam T. Michael +1
A recent study by Opher et al. (2015) suggested the heliosphere has a "croissant" shape, where the heliosheath plasma is confined by the toroidal solar magnetic field. The "croissa…
Probability of CME Impact on Exoplanets Orbiting M Dwarfs and Solar-Like Stars
C. Kay, M. Opher, M. Kornbleuth
Solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) produce adverse space weather effects at Earth. Planets in the close habitable zone of magnetically active M dwarfs may experience more extreme…
