Fields and plasmas in the outer solar system
Abstract
The most significant data on fields and plasmas in the outer solar system, based on observations by Pioneer 10 and 11, are reviewed. Attention is given to (1) corotating shocks and the evolution of high speed solar wind streams, (2) the effect of the changing structure of the interplanetary medium on energetic particles, (3) the propagation of flare-generated shocks through the outer solar system, (4) radial gradients in the solar wind and interplanetary field, and (5) the dependence of the interplanetary sector structure on heliographic latitude.
