Voyager Observations of Electron Densities in the Very Local Interstellar Medium

Voyager Observations of Electron Densities in the Very Local Interstellar Medium

The two Voyager spacecraft have now been immersed in the very local interstellar medium for several years. Both spacecraft carry a plasma wave instrument capable of detecting plasma waves that yield electron density through the determination of the electron plasma frequency. Recent observations by V...
