1) Observations made by ultraviolet (UV) detectors on board Pioneer 10 , Voyager 1 , and Voyager 2 can be used to analyze the distribution of neutral hydrogen throughout the heliosphere, including the interaction regions of the solar wind and local interstellar medium. We use state-of-the art three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) – kinetic neutral H models to simulate Lyman-alpha...
