Heliosheath Properties Measured from a Voyager 2 to Voyager 1 Transient

Kavli Affiliate: John Richardson | Summary:In mid-2012, a GMIR observed by Voyager 2 crossed through the heliosheath and collided with the heliopause, generating a pressure pulse that propagated into the very local interstellar medium. The effects of the transmitted wave were seen by Voyager 1 just 93 days after its own heliopause crossing. The passage […]

The in-situ exploration of Jupiter’s radiation belts (A White Paper submitted in response to ESA’s Voyage 2050 Call)

Kavli Affiliate: George Clark | Summary:Jupiter has the most energetic and complex radiation belts in our solar system. Their hazardous environment is the reason why so many spacecraft avoid rather than investigate them, and explains how they have kept many of their secrets so well hidden, despite having been studied for decades. In this White […]

Astro2020 APC White Paper: Providing a Timely Review of Input Demographics to Advisory Committees

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | Summary:Organizations that support science (astronomy) such as federal agencies, research centers, observatories, academic institutions, societies, etc. employ advisory committees and boards as a mechanism for reviewing their activities and giving advice on practices, policies and future directions. As with any scientific endeavor, there is concern over complementing these committees with […]

The structure of magnetic turbulence in the heliosheath region observed by Voyager 2 at 106 AU

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: It is currently believed that the turbulent fluctuations pervade the outermost heliosphere. Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, and their link may be responsible for magnetic energy conversion in these regions. The governing mechanisms of such anisotropic […]

The structure of magnetic turbulence in the heliosheath region observed by Voyager 2 at 106 AU

Kavli Affiliate: John Richardson | Summary:It is currently believed that the turbulent fluctuations pervade the outermost heliosphere. Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, and their link may be responsible for magnetic energy conversion in these regions. The governing mechanisms of such anisotropic and compressible magnetic turbulence in the inner heliosheath (IHS) and in the local interstellar medium (LISM) […]

Magnetic turbulence spectra and intermittency in the heliosheath and in the local interstellar medium

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Richardson | First 5 Authors: Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson, Daniela Tordella, | Summary: The understanding of inertial-scale dynamics in the heliosheath is not yet thorough. Magnetic field fluctuations across the inner heliosheath (IHS) and the local interstellar medium (LISM) are here considered to provide accurate and highly […]

Magnetic turbulence spectra and intermittency in the heliosheath and in the local interstellar medium

Kavli Affiliate: John Richardson | Summary:The understanding of inertial-scale dynamics in the heliosheath is not yet thorough. Magnetic field fluctuations across the inner heliosheath (IHS) and the local interstellar medium (LISM) are here considered to provide accurate and highly resolved statistics over different plasma conditions between 88 and 136 au. By using the unique in […]

Securing the legacy of TESS through the care and maintenance of TESS planet ephemerides

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | Summary:Much of the science from the exoplanets detected by the TESS mission relies on precisely predicted transit times that are needed for many follow-up characterization studies. We investigate ephemeris deterioration for simulated TESS planets and find that the ephemerides of 81% of those will have expired (i.e. 1$σ$ mid-transit time […]
