The interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) is attracting
renewed interest, thanks to the possibility that the Voyager spacecraft may, in the not too …

The magnetospheric imaging instrument (MIMI) is a neutral and charged particle detection
system on the Cassini orbiter spacecraft designed to perform both global imaging and in-situ …

The magnetic field of the Sun is the underlying cause of the many diverse phenomena
combined under the heading of solar activity. Here we describe the magnetic field as it …

The GAS-instrument onboard the space probe Ulysses is designed to measure the local
angular distribution of the flow of interstellar neutral He-atoms within≈ 3 AU distance from …

The long-anticipated encounter by Voyager 2 (V2) of the region between the heliosphere
and the very local interstellar medium (VLISM) occurred toward the end of 2018. Here, we …

Neutral atom imaging of the interstellar gas flow in the inner heliosphere provides the most
detailed information on physical conditions of the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and …

The gas-to-dust mass ratios found for interstellar dust within the solar system, versus values
determined astronomically for the cloud around the solar system, suggest that large and …

Many species of pickup ions, both of interstellar origin and from an inner, distributed source
have been discovered using data from the Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer …

A coordinated effort to combine all three methods that are used to determine the physical
parameters of interstellar gas in the heliosphere has been undertaken. In order to arrive at a …

Experimental techniques and instrumentation for space plasma imaging in fluxes of
energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) are reviewed. ENAs are born in charge exchange collisions …
