Location of the Termination Shock at Solar Maximum

Abstract

During the recent solar maximum, Voyager 1 was beyond 80 AU. Extrapolation of the small gradients of anomalous cosmic rays at solar minimum and the larger gradients at solar maximum indicate that the solar wind termination shock is at ≲ 92 AU at the beginning of 2002.
