The Outer Heliosphere and the Interstellar Interaction
Over the last decade, observations from the Voyager Satellites, the Interstellar Boundary Explorer, and Cassini/INCA have ushered in an era of discovery concerning the previously unknown properties of the global heliosphere and its interaction with the local interstellar medium. Wide ranging observations including those of pickup ions, anomalous cosmic rays and suprathermal particles have significant implications for our understanding of global interstellar interactions.
This 27th meeting of the New England Space Science Consortium includes topics concerning the global heliosphere, the local interstellar medium, interstellar interactions, and related topics. As always, we invite all members of the New England Space Science community to the meeting. And as in all meetings, we will include contributions from participants on wide-ranging topics.
Speakers include:
Merav Opher (BU) - Global Heliosphere Simulations
Paul Song (UML) - Analytical Approach to Interstellar Boundary Structure
Adam Michaels (BU) – Simulations of the Global Heliosphere
Marc Kornbleuth (BU) – Simulations of the Global Heliosphere
Ofer Cohen (UML) – Modeling of the Heliosphere and Astrospheres
Fatemeh Rahmanifard (UNH) — Interstellar Neutral H from IBEX
Eberhard Moebius (UNH) — Interstellar Neutral Atoms from IBEX and IMAP
Marty Lee (UNH)— Analytical Model of Interstellar Neutral Atoms
Nathan Schwadron (UNH) — IBEX observations of the Ribbon and Globally Distributed Flux over 9 years
Harald Kucharek (UNH) – Secondary Neutral Atoms Observed by IBEX
Phil Isenberg (UNH) – Analytical Modeling of Secondary Neutral Atoms Observed by IBEX
