Observations of the outer heliosphere, heliosheath, and interstellar medium
The Voyager spacecraft have left the heliosphere and entered the interstellar medium,
making the first observations of the termination shock, heliosheath, and heliopause. New …

In situ observations of interstellar pickup ions from 1 au to the outer heliosphere
Interstellar pickup ions are an ubiquitous and thermodynamically important component of
the solar wind plasma in the heliosphere. These PUIs are born from the ionization of the …

Density of neutral hydrogen in the sun's interstellar neighborhood
Interstellar neutral atoms, unlike charged particles, freely penetrate the heliosphere,
allowing us to sample the physical state of the interstellar matter directly. Most interstellar …

Slowing of the solar wind in the outer heliosphere
This study provides a deeper understanding of how the solar wind evolves with increasing
distance from the Sun as it encounters an increasing amount of interstellar material. This …

Detection of carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on the stratified surface of Charon with JWST
S Protopapa, U Raut, I Wong, J Stansberry… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Charon, Pluto's largest moon, has been extensively studied, with research focusing on its
primitive composition and changes due to radiation and photolysis. However, spectral data …

Interstellar pickup ion observations to 38 au
We provide the first direct observations of interstellar H+ and He+ pickup ions in the solar
wind from 22 to 38 au. We use the Vasyliunas and Siscoe model functional form to quantify …
