Persistent plasma waves in interstellar space detected by Voyager 1

#1

Post by smp »


From Nature.com:
"... We present the detection of a class of very weak, narrowband plasma wave emission in the Voyager 1 data that persists from 2017 onwards and enables a steadily sampled measurement of the interstellar plasma density over about 10 au with an average sampling distance of 0.03 au. ..."

Sorry, but it will cost you to see anything more that the abstract on their web site.
