Planning for New Horizons Arrival
Virtual Workshop, August 19/20
New Horizons is currently 58 AU from the Sun, near the solar equatorial plane, and close to the same longitude as Voyager 2, which crossed the Termination Shock at 84 AU. Depending on the shape and solar wind pressure, New Horizons could cross the Termination Shock in 5-8 years. Energetic particles streaming in from the Termination Shock could give a few years warning of the crossing. In preparation for this crossing, this virtual workshop will discuss previous Termination Shock data and models. Discussions will also focus on New Horizons observations which will help us to understand the Termination Shock physics and the heliosheath beyond it. Scene-setting talks will be followed by open discussion. All are invited!
