Abstract
The Voyager spacecraft have observed episodic bursts of radio emission near 2–3 kHz that are generated outside the inner heliosphere, arguably when shock waves driven by global merged interaction regions (GMIRs) reach the vicinity of the heliopause. Voyager observations and theories for the source region and generation of the radiation are reviewed in this paper. Special foci are the GMIR model for interpreting the data, and the successes of the new Priming/GMIR theory which can explain the turn-on and generation of the radiation in the outer heliosheath, near the heliopause nose. Unresolved issues and directions for future work are also summarized, including the direction of the local interstellar magnetic field, timing of radio events, and propagation of the radiation into the inner heliosphere.
