Voyager 1 Electron Densities in the Very Local Interstellar Medium to beyond 160 au

Voyager 1 Electron Densities in the Very Local Interstellar Medium to beyond 160 au

The two Voyager spacecraft have been exploring the interstellar medium beyond the heliopause since 2012 (Voyager 1) and 2018 (Voyager 2). Electron plasma oscillations and a quasi-thermal noise line at the electron plasma frequency have enabled the determination of the electron density in this region...
