• Observations from Voyager 1 as it crossed thetermination shock.– (left) Energetic particle measurements show increase inparticle fluxes at shock (A, B, D) and change in first orderanisotropies (C) and radial velocity (F). (Decker et al., 2005)–(right) The magnetic field magnitude increased (A) and thegalactic cosmic ray intensity increased. (Burlaga et al., 2005)
• The Voyager passage through the termination shock– Voyager was 94AU from the Sun when it encountered theshock.–The shock was moving toward the Sun possibly becausedecreasing solar wind dynamic pressure.– As of December, 2005 Voyager 1 was still in the heliosheath.
