Exploring the Complex Heliotail Boundary by an Extended Level Set Approach

There is an ongoing debate regarding the shape of the heliotail. Studies have shown that the heliotail may be “comet-like,” extending for thousands of au. Some previous works defined the heliopause using magnetohydrodynamic variables, which only serve as an approximation to capture the heliopause in...
