Tracking the Rapid Opening and Closing of Polar Coronal Holes through IBEX ENA Observations

Bishwas L. Shrestha et al.

Summary: In this study, the evolution of polar coronal holes (PCHs) is investigated using high-time resolution ENA flux measurements from IBEX-Hi. The PCHs are identified by ENA spectral indices <1.8. The results show a periodic evolution of the ENA spectral index over the poles, with a slight increase in the surface area with flatter ENA spectra from 2009-2011 and a gradual decrease from 2012-2014. The PCH completely disappears in 2016 and reappears starting in 2017, gradually growing until 2019, showing a clear correlation with the change in the PCH area observed at the Sun.

Interstellar Probe - Where is the Nose of the Heliosphere?

Romana Ratkiewicz et al.

Summary: This paper reviews publications on the discovery of the location of the heliopause nose using the Newtonian Approximation method and confirmatory studies using full three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the heliosphere. With uncertainty about the appearance of the heliosphere, deciding the direction to send the Interstellar Probe was challenging. The article focuses on the importance of determining the movement of the heliopause nose and its position for this decision.

Heliospheric effects caused by Sun-originating versus LISM-advected fluctuations

M. Strumik et al.

Summary: In this study, the response of the heliosphere to fluctuations in the local interstellar medium (LISM) and solar-cycle fluctuations was investigated. The differences between the effects of these two types of drivers on the shape of the heliosphere, the thickness of the inner heliosheath, and the position of the IBEX ribbon were discussed. The results showed that both density fluctuations from the LISM and solar-cycle effects can significantly impact the heliosphere, but with different relative motions. The position of the IBEX ribbon was found to be minimally affected by these drivers, with the LISM fluctuations having a stronger effect than the solar cycle.

The Development of a Split-tail Heliosphere and the Role of Non-ideal Processes: A Comparison of the BU and Moscow Models

M. Kornbleuth et al.

Summary: Global models of the heliosphere are essential for understanding heliospheric observations. The comparison between two MHD models, BU and Moscow, reveals the impact of different numerical treatments and physical assumptions on the heliospheric solution. Differences in plasma solutions between the two models may affect measurements of the heliosphere.

Signature of a Heliotail Organized by the Solar Magnetic Field and the Role of Nonideal Processes in Modeled IBEX ENA Maps: A Comparison of the BU and Moscow MHD Models

M. Kornbleuth et al.

Summary: The study compared two kinetic-MHD models of the heliosphere in terms of their manifestation in ENA maps and found that scaling of the modeled ENA maps is necessary to match observational data. This suggests a need for higher neutral density or acceleration of PUIs in the heliosheath in ENA models with the Maxwellian approximation of multiple ion species.

A Turbulent Heliosheath Driven by the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability

M. Opher et al.

Summary: The heliosphere is the bubble formed by the solar wind interacting with the interstellar medium, with recent simulations showing distinct north and south columns in the heliotail. Disagreements exist in models regarding the extent of these structures and the penetration of the ambient ISM. Magnetohydrodynamic simulations reveal that turbulence in the heliosphere is driven by the interaction of neutral hydrogen atoms with ionized matter, leading to instability in the heliospheric jets and potential implications for particle acceleration.
