Spectral Properties of ENAs generated along Lines of Sight pointed to Voyager-1 and -2 and Implications for Plasma Flows in the Inner Heliosheath
Abstract
In the past years, both the IBEX mission and the Voyager spacecrafts have shed new light on the boundary layer of the solar system. Taking presently registered Voyager data serious, there is no global MHD model available that is able to reproduce plasma flow as derived from this data set. New models aiming to improve existing descriptions of the heliospheric boundary layer, respecting both Voyager and also IBEX data, are being developed right now. Studying spectral properties as observed by IBEX and also plasma flow profiles as implied by the Voyagers, we present first results from a conservative, analytical approach to the underlying problems.
