The Outer Heliosphere: Where the Solar Wind, Interstellar Pickup Ions, Suprathermal Particles, and Galactic Cosmic Rays Interact

Session ID#: 78505

Session Description:
With the upcoming Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission providing higher resolution Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) maps, New Horizons exploring the outer heliosphere, and Voyager exploring the interstellar medium, it is becoming important to understand how particle populations spanning a wide range of energies interact over large scales throughout the heliosphere. As the solar wind propagates, solar wind structures merge forming larger structures that can become Global Merged Interaction Regions (GMIRs). GMIRs reduce the amount of Galactic Cosmic Rays reaching Earth. As the solar wind propagates encountering more interstellar material, the solar wind heats and slows as interstellar material is ionized and picked up. Interstellar pickup ions and suprathermal tails modify shocks (interplanetary, & planetary), and outer heliospheric boundaries. We seek abstracts using data sets, and simulations that explore how particles with such a wide range of energies interact over large scales connecting the inner and outer heliosphere.
