Collisionless shocks, that is shocks mediated by electromagnetic processes, are customary
in space physics and in astrophysics. They are to be found in a great variety of objects and …

Abstract The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is a revolutionary mission
that simultaneously investigates two of the most important overarching issues in …

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 …

If charged particles move through the interplanetary or interstellar medium, they interact with
a large-scale magnetic field such as the magnetic field of the Sun or the Galactic magnetic …

The solar wind blows outward from the Sun and forms a bubble of solar material in the
interstellar medium. The termination shock occurs where the solar wind changes from being …

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

Energization at a quasi‐perpendicular shock is described for ions which approach the shock
with a speed much less than that of the incoming plasma. These ions may be trapped …

On the basis of a recently developed nonlinear guiding center theory for the perpendicular
spatial diffusion coefficient κ⊥ used to describe the transport of energetic particles, we …

Mars and Venus do not have a global magnetic field and as a result solar wind interacts
directly with their ionospheres and upper atmospheres. Neutral atoms ionized by solar UV …
