Session ID#: 15895

Session Description:
The Voyager 1/2 mission has provided the space physics community with unique opportunities to investigate in situ the physical phenomena accompanying the solar wind interaction with the local interstellar medium (LISM). In the partially ionized LISM, charge exchange and ionization processes play important roles in determining the energy balance and topology of the heliosphere. This session addresses the most challenging issues related to Voyager observations: (1) effects of charge exchange, interstellar magnetic field draping, and time dependent phenomena on heliospheric asymmetries; (2) physics of pickup ions; (3)  acceleration of ions and anomalous cosmic rays in the inner heliosheath; (4) galactic cosmic ray transport throughout the heliosphere and LISM; (5) roles of plasma waves, instabilities, and magnetic reconnection; (6) relation of Voyager measurements to remote observations from IBEX, Cassini, SOHO, HST, and air shower observatories. We solicit papers addressing these and other phenomena occurring in the outer heliosphere and LISM.
