VOYAGER 2 OBSERVES A LARGE DENSITY INCREASE IN THE HELIOSHEATH

Voyager 2 (V2) entered the heliosheath in 2007 August at roughly the same time solar minimum conditions were reaching the outer heliosphere. Soon after crossing the termination shock the solar wind density at Voyager decreased by a factor of two and the temperature decreased by a factor of three. At...
