Plasma velocities in the Heliosheath and the influence of the interstellar wind

Abstract

A new coordinate system (Interstellar Heliospheric Coordinates, or IHC) is introduced to enable the detailed study of the influence of the interstellar wind on the heliosheath. Recent, in situ measurements of plasma velocities in the heliosheath by Voyager 2 are projected into the IHC system and analyzed. We consider steady state flows as well as time dependent phenomena, and we show that a transient event with no obvious cause or direction takes a particularly simple form in IHC.
