The Sun moves through the local interstellar medium (LISM) ejecting charged particles with velocities that eventually become greater
than the fast magnetosonic velocity. A surface separating the LISM material from the solar wind (SW) plasma is called
the heliopause. The SW is decelerated by the heliopause creating a heliospheric termination shock. A region of the
SW plasma between the...

Similar directions are obtained for the local interstellar magnetic
field (ISMF) by comparing diverse data that sample five orders of
magnetic in spatial scales. The direction of the ISMF that shapes the
heliosphere, and that is traced by the ribbon of energetic neutral
atoms discovered by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission,
is compared to the ISMF direction obtained from...

The history of anisotropy measurements has a long history and some attempts at interpretations have already been made.
The early measurements are important in view of giving a check on the validity of the contemporary exciting measurements. So far they seem to confirm and complement them, at least for the large scale anisotropies.
The small scale anisotropies, forming 'striations'...
