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…
Corrugated Features in Coronal-mass-ejections-driven Shocks: A Discussion on the Predisposition to Particle Acceleration
A. Páez, V. Jatenco-Pereira, D. Falceta-Gonçalves +1
The study of the acceleration of particles is an essential element of research in the heliospheric science. Here, we discuss the predisposition to the particle acceleration around…
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…
Constraining the Mass and the Non-Radial Drag Coefficient of a Solar Coronal Mass Ejection
C. Kay, L. F. G. dos Santos, M. Opher
Decades of observations show that CMEs can deflect from a purely radial trajectory yet no consensus exists as to the cause of these deflections. Many of theories attribute the CME…
Multi-ion, multi-fluid 3-D magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the outer heliosphere
Christina Prested, Merav Opher, Gabor Toth
Data from the Voyager probes and the Interstellar Boundary Explorer have revealed the importance of pick-up ions (PUIs) in understanding the character and behavior of the outer hel…
