From IBEX to IMAP: Toward a Leap in Understanding the Physics of the Global Heliosphere

Session ID#: 80911

Session Description:
Expanding upon the discoveries of the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) and previous heliospheric missions, the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), launching in 2024, utilizes an impressive ten-instrument suite to provide a broad range of in situ and remote observations. These instruments characterize phenomena ranging from energetic particle acceleration in interplanetary space to solar wind interactions with the interstellar medium.

     Topics within this framework include global heliospheric structure and dynamics; origins of the enigmatic ENA ribbon; particle distributions in the local interstellar medium; and acceleration of pickup ions and energetic particles throughout the heliosphere.

     Anticipating the fresh insights expected from IMAP, this session explores the latest advances in these broad-ranging topics; invites observational, theoretical, and modeling contributions that pertain to IBEX, IMAP, ACE, Voyager, and other relevant missions; and addresses the physics of particle acceleration in the heliosphere and beyond.
