PLASMA NEAR THE HELIOSHEATH: OBSERVATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Voyager 2 (V2) has observed heliosheath plasma since 2007 August. The plasma flux decreases by 25% before the termination shock (TS), then, as V2 moved into the heliosheath, the plasma density, temperature, and flux all decreased by an additional factor of 2. We suggest three effects combine to caus...
