IBEX News To Be Announced (Rescheduled)

NASA To Reveal New Data On Conditions At Edge Of Solar System
Keith’s note: NASA has rescheduled the media teleconference to discuss new information about the boundary of our solar system obtained from the agency’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft. The telecon now is set for noon EDT, on Thursday, Sept. 30.
Comparisons of the Interstellar Magnetic Field Directions obtained from the IBEX Ribbon and Interstellar Polarizations
“Variations in the spatial configuration of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the Sun can be constrained by comparing the ISMF direction at the heliosphere found from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer spacecraft (IBEX) observations of a ‘Ribbon’ of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs), with the ISMF direction derived from optical polarization data for stars within ~40 pc.”
