Interstellar magnetic field effects on the heliosphere

Authors: Romana Ratkiewicz;

Interstellar magnetic field effects on the heliosphere

Abstract

This paper summarizes the numerical results obtained by three‐dimensional MHD simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and interstellar medium in Ratkiewicz and Ben‐Jaffel [2002], Ratkiewicz and McKenzie [2002], and Ratkiewicz and Webb [2002]. We analyze the configuration in which Maxwell stresses lead to squeezing and/or pushing the heliospheric boundary. In particular, we explain the mechanism giving rise to a suction effect of the heliopause. Numerical results for the case of aligned interstellar MHD flow are compared with previous studies.
