Can IBEX Identify Variations in the Galactic Environment of the Sun using Energetic Neutral Atom (ENAs)?
P. C. Frisch, J. Heerikhuisen, N. V. Pogorelov +11
The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft is providing the first all-sky maps of the energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) produced by charge-exchange between interstellar neut…
Time-variability in the Interstellar Boundary Conditions of the Heliosphere: Effect of the Solar Journey on the Galactic Cosmic Ray Flux at Earth
Priscilla C. Frisch, Hans-Reinhard Mueller
During the solar journey through galactic space, variations in the physical properties of the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) modify the heliosphere and modulate the flux of…
Exclusion of Tiny Interstellar Dust Grains from the Heliosphere
J. D. Slavin, P. C. Frisch, J. Heerikhuisen +6
The distribution of interstellar dust grains (ISDG) observed in the Solar System depends on the nature of the interstellar medium-solar wind interaction. The charge of the grains c…
Toward numerical and analytical studies of first order phase transitions
Hans-Reinhard Mueller
Discrete lattice simulations of an one-dimensional phi^4 theory coupled to an external heat bath are being carried out. Great care is taken to remove the effects of lattice discret…
