Dissipation of the sectored heliospheric magnetic field near the heliopause: a mechanism for the generation of anomalous cosmic rays
J. F. Drake, M. Opher, M. Swisdak +1
The recent observations of the anomalous cosmic ray (ACR) energy spectrum as Voyagers 1 and 2 crossed the heliospheric termination shock have called into question the conventional…

Surface Alfven Wave Damping in a 3D Simulation of the Solar Wind
R. M. Evans, M. Opher, V. Jatenco-Pereira +1
Here we investigate the contribution of surface Alfven wave damping to the heating of the solar wind in minima conditions. These waves are present in regions of strong inhomogeneit…

A model of acceleration of Anomalous Cosmic Rays by Reconnection in the Heliosheath
A. Lazarian, M. Opher
We discuss a model of cosmic ray acceleration that accounts for the observations of anomalous cosmic rays by Voyager 1 and 2. The model appeals to fast magnetic reconnection rather…
