VARIABILITY OF PLASMA IN THE HELIOSHEATH

The heliosheath is the shocked solar wind between the termination shock and the heliopause. Plasma properties are highly variable in this region, with factor-of-two variations of density and thermal speed on timescales from tens of minutes to hours to days. Gaussian distributions fit all the heliosh...
