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 …

We present a review of Anomalous Cosmic Rays (ACRs), including the history of their
discovery and recent insights into their acceleration and transport in the heliosphere. We …

Among the various acceleration mechanisms which have been suggested as responsible for
the nonthermal particle spectra and associated radiation observed in many astrophysical …

A new mechanism for the acceleration of pickup ions by repeated reflections from the
electrostatic cross shock potential of a quasi‐perpendicular shock is presented. The …

First results from a two‐dimensional (axisymmetric) time‐dependent gas dynamic model for
the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium are presented. The model …

The interaction of the heliosphere with the local interstellar medium (LISM) results in a
complicated series of boundary regions. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring …

Since about several decades now it is clearly recognized that the interaction of the solar
system with the ambient interstellar medium flow primarily occurs on the basis of a …

Energetic neutral atom (ENA) imaging is a powerful technique, which can remotely probe
the properties of distant hot plasmas. Hot plasmas are abundant at the heliospheric …

The self-consistent steady state solution for a strong shock, significantly modified by
accelerated particles is obtained on the level of a kinetic description, assuming Bohm-type …

Cosmic rays (CRs) are thought to play a dynamically important role in several key aspects of
galaxy evolution, including the structure of the interstellar medium, the formation of galactic …
