Session ID#: 15899

Session Description:
The interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) is highly dynamic and affects a region extending hundreds of astronomical units from the Sun. The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) images this global interaction by detecting neutral atoms that pervade the heliosphere. While IBEX globally images heliospheric boundaries and directly measures interstellar matter, the Voyager spacecraft provide in situ observations of these boundary regions as they venture closer to the pristine LISM. We solicit observational, theoretical, and modeling abstracts that address our understanding of the global solar-interstellar environment supported by seven years of IBEX measurements, with topics including energetic neutral imaging of the heliosheath, LISM measurements, particle acceleration processes and solar wind drivers with implications to IBEX observations, and connections between IBEX and Voyager in situ measurements inside and outside the heliosphere. We also welcome abstracts that anticipate future observations of the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP).
