WHY ARE THE MAGNETIC FIELD DIRECTIONS MEASURED BY <i>VOYAGER 1</i> ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HELIOPAUSE SO SIMILAR?
The solar wind carves in the interstellar plasma a cavity bounded by a surface, called the heliopause (HP), that separates the plasma and magnetic field of solar origin from the interstellar ones. It is now generally accepted that in August 2012 Voyager 1 (V1) crossed that boundary. Unexpectedly, the magnetic …
