Voyager 1 exited the solar wind at a distance of ~85 AU from the sun
Article Abstract:
Research shows that the intensity of energetic particles in the outer heliosphere increases substantially, which suggests that the spacecraft exits the supersonic solar wind and enters the subsonic region and then reenters the supersonic solar wind at ~87 Au from the sun. Data indicate that the ions accelerated at the termination shock is from cosmic rays and of interstellar pick-up ions.

Enhancements of energetic particles near the heliospheric termination shock
Article Abstract:
Research evaluates the performance of the spacecraft Voyager 1. There is a significant increase in the number of energetic ions and electrons, which is accompanied by an increase in Galactic cosmic ray ions and electrons, anomalous cosmic rays and low-energy ions near the heliospheric termination shock.

A dynamic, rotating ring current around Saturn
Article Abstract:
The presence of a dynamic, rotating electrical ring current around Saturn is demonstrated. The ring current is found to highly vary with the longitudinal asymmetries associated to the planet.
