Cosmic ray modulation in the outer heliosphere: predictions for cosmic ray intensities up to the heliopause along Voyager 1 and 2 trajectories
(Elsevier, 2011)Time dependent cosmic ray modulation in the outer heliosphere is calculated and results are compared to Voyager 1 and 2 observations using a two-dimensional time-dependent cosmic ray transport model. We predict possible ... -
Galactic cosmic rays in the outer heliosphere: theory and models
(Springer, 2011)We review recent advances in the field of galactic cosmic ray transport in the distant heliosphere. The advent of globalMHD models brought about a better understanding of the three-dimensional structure of the interface ... -
A local interstellar spectrum for galactic electrons
(Elsevier, 2013)A heliopause spectrum at 122 AU from the Sun is presented for galactic electrons over an energy range from 1 MeV to 50 GeV that can be considered the lowest possible local interstellar spectrum (LIS). The focus of this ... -
Modeling the acceleration and modulation of anomalous cosmic ray oxygen
(Elsevier, 2011)After the solar wind termination shock crossings of the Voyager spacecraft, the acceleration of anomalous cosmic rays has become a very contentious subject. In this paper we examine several topics pertinent to anomalous ... -
Modelling of low-energy galactic electrons in the heliosheath
(Elsevier, 2011)The modulation of cosmic ray electrons in the heliosphere plays an important role in improving our understanding and assessment of the processes applicable to low-energy galactic electrons. A full three-dimensional numerical ... -
Modulation of galactic cosmic rays in a north-south asymmetrical heliosphere
(Elsevier, 2011)Observations made with the two Voyager spacecraft confirmed that the solar wind decelerates to form the heliospheric termination shock. Voyager 1 crossed this termination shock at ∼94 AU in 2004, while Voyager 2 crossed ... -
The solar modulation of electrons in the heliosphere
(Springer Link, 2013)The propagation and modulation of electrons in the heliosphere play an important part in improving our understanding and assessment of the modulation processes. A full three-dimensional numerical model is used to ...
