Results from the ISSI Workshop: ``From the Outer Heliosphere to the Local Bubble: Comparison of New Observations with Theory''
Abstract
On 15-19 October 2007, the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland, hosted a workshop that brought together scientists studying various aspects of the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium and the Local Bubble. Recent results from the Voyager missions and other space-based observatories have stimulated new understanding and theories concerning phenomena in these environments. Important questions discussed at the workshop included the structure and dominant physical processes in the outer heliosphere and the properties, structures, and origin of the local interstellar medium. A focus of the workshop was the many roles that magnetic fields play in the outer heliosphere and Local Bubble. This review summarizes the important topics discussed at the workshop and lists some of the important conclusions.
