Effects of Interstellar and Solar Wind Ionized Helium on the Interaction of the Solar Wind with the Local Interstellar Medium
The Sun is moving through a warm (~6500 K) and partly ionized local interstellar cloud (LIC) with a velocity of ~26 km s-1. Recent measurements of the ionization of the LIC (Wolff, Koester, & Lallement) suggest that interstellar helium in the vicinity of the Sun is 30%-40% ionized and that …
