Voyager 2 Observations of Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) in the Outer Heliosphere

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Space Sciences Series of ISSI ((SSSI,volume 7))

Abstract

We review observations from Voyager 2 of CIRs and merged CIRs in the outer heliosphere. The rather simple characteristics of the CIR-associated changes in plasma, magnetic field, and particles become more complex as observations are made at greater and greater distances. Pickup ions from charge exchange undoubtedly play an important role in the structure, but the full details are not yet understood.
