Three-Dimensional Simulations of Shock Propagation in the Heliosphere and Beyond
Continuous input of solar data to time-dependent 3D models is necessary for the study of shock propagation in the solar wind. We have performed time-dependent 3D simulations using two different models...

Particle Acceleration at Shocks: Effects of Spatial Variations Along the Shock Face
We consider the acceleration of charged particles and anomalous cosmic rays (ACR) at propagating shocks and especially at the heliospheric termination shock, when upstream variations cause spatial var...

Asuite of 64 global heliospheric models, for which the interstellardensities and temperatures are varied within reasonable bounds, is analyzedwith respect to the location of the termination shock onand off the stagnation axis, its temperature, and its compressionratio. The empirical relations regarding the termination shock, the heliopauseand the interstellar bow shock, are discussed, as are thephysical reasons behind these relations. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
