Local Interstellar Flow Parameters from the First Intersection of IMAP-Lo's Parameter Tubes
Nathan A. Schwadron, Mitchell M. Shen, Fatemeh Rahmanifard +24
The Sun's motion through the interstellar medium creates a flow of interstellar neutral (ISN) atoms through the heliosphere. ISN He, due to its high universal abundance and relativ…
Science Opportunities for IMAP-Lo Observations of Interstellar Neutral Helium, Neon and Oxygen During a Maximum of Solar Activity
M. A. Kubiak, M. Bzowski, P. Swaczyna +3
Direct-sampling observations of interstellar neutral (ISN) species and their secondary populations give information about the physical state of the local interstellar medium and pr…
Interstellar Conditions Deduced from Interstellar Neutral Helium Observed by IBEX and Global Heliosphere Modeling
P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, J. Heerikhuisen +8
In situ observations of interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms by the IBEX-Lo instrument onboard the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission are used to determine the veloci…
Mixing Interstellar Clouds Surrounding the Sun
Paweł Swaczyna, Nathan A. Schwadron, Eberhard Möbius +9
On its journey through the Galaxy, the Sun passes through diverse regions of the interstellar medium. High-resolution spectroscopic measurements of interstellar absorption lines in…
Mapping the Interstellar Magnetic Field Around the Heliosphere with Polarized Starlight
P. C. Frisch, A. B. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +20
Starlight that becomes linearly polarized by magnetically aligned dust grains provides a viable diagnostic of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF). A survey is underway to map th…
Charting the Interstellar Magnetic Field causing the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) Ribbon of Energetic Neutral Atoms
P. C. Frisch, A. Berdyugin, V. Piirola +10
The interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the heliosphere is a basic part of the solar neighborhood that can only be studied using polarized starlight. Results of an ongoing surv…
Evidence for an interstellar dust filament in the outer heliosheath
P. C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, A. Berdyugin +8
A recently discovered filament of polarized starlight that traces a coherent magnetic field is shown to have several properties that are consistent with an origin in the outer heli…
Correcting the record on the analysis of IBEX and STEREO data regarding variations in the neutral interstellar wind
P. C. Frisch, M. Bzowski, C. Drews +6
The journey of the Sun through space carries the solar system through a dynamic interstellar environment that is presently characterized by Mach 1 motion between the heliosphere an…
Connecting the interstellar magnetic field at the heliosphere to the Loop I superbubble
P. C. Frisch, A. Berdyugin, H. O. Funsten +6
The local interstellar magnetic field affects both the heliosphere and the surrounding cluster of interstellar clouds (CLIC). Measurements of linearly polarized starlight provide t…
Large-scale Interstellar Structure and the Heliosphere
P. C. Frisch, N. A. Schwadron
The properties of interstellar clouds near the Sun are ordered by the Loop I superbubble and by the interstellar radiation field. Comparisons of the kinematics and magnetic field o…
The Interstellar Magnetic Field Close to the Sun II
P. C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, A. Berdyugin +9
A key indicator of the galactic environment of the Sun is provided by the magnetic field in the interstellar medium (ISM), which influences the shape of the heliosphere. The direct…
Neutral interstellar helium parameters based on IBEX-Lo observations and test particle calculations
M. Bzowski, M. A. Kubiak, E. Moebius +10
Neutral Interstellar Helium (NISHe) is almost unaffected at the heliospheric interface with the interstellar medium and freely enters the solar system. It provides some of the best…
Comparisons of the Interstellar Magnetic Field Directions obtained from the IBEX Ribbon and Interstellar Polarizations
Priscilla C. Frisch, B-G Andersson, Andrei Berdyugin +7
Variations in the spatial configuration of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the Sun can be constrained by comparing the ISMF direction at the heliosphere found from the…
A possible generation mechanism for the IBEX ribbon from outside the heliosphere
S. Grzedzielski, M. Bzowski, A. Czechowski +3
The brightest and most surprising feature in the first all-sky maps of Energetic Neutral Atoms (ENA) emissions (0.2-6 keV) produced by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is…
