E-mail inquiries about the meeting should be directed to Gary Zank at https://www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/15thannual/contact.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icnsmeetings.com_conference_15thannual_contact.html&d=BQMFaQ&c=l_IU86Q8JTGnHn9K9kRmRlrLmhfeE6S9tCyr6T8mzvM&r=_gHPHAb6R3iRUcEyy2Z7g2EkVCyNxNUH3OFlJNBy5w4&m=582TJ2dqM9eqwj_outDqtbsr_gskSh9gA2k2iNRyOIA&s=t1tV1YrMgSRk4stKc037Q9rgFkW99E6XMyulLPoPenY&e=>.
The meeting is entitled, "The Science of Ed Stone: Celebrating his 80th Birthday", and will follow the same format as before with 25-minute presentations punctuated by selected 40-minute invited talks that will explore various themes in greater detail.
Ed Stone has made foundational contributions to our understanding of all facets of the physics of energetic particles in the solar wind and the interstellar medium. Much of our current understanding of the interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium is derived from the Voyager Interstellar Mission under Ed's leadership. His remarkable career has spanned the space age, contributing not only to science but to the leadership of our community. The 15th Annual International Astrophysics Conference will celebrate the science and scientific achievements of Ed Stone.
PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO BOOK YOUR ROOM. Our turnout is larger than anticipated and unfortunately we have blocked only a very limited amount of rooms

5) SHINE 2016 - Session: "Heliosphere as Revealed from IBEX and Voyager Measurements"
Session 13. Heliosphere as Revealed from IBEX and Voyager Measurements
Nikolai Pogorelov, Merav Opher, and George Gloeckler
Session Description:
In situ observations by Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, combined with the heliosheath tomography using energetic neutral hydrogen fluxes measured by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) in different energy bands gives the space physics community a unique opportunity to investigate the fundamental physical processes accompanying the solar wind (SW) interaction with the local interstellar medium (LISM). The proposed session will address microscopic and macroscopic phenomena derived from IBEX and Voyager observations, and especially their combination. It will particularly focus on the following scientific questions:
1. What is the effect of the coupling of the heliospheric and interstellar magnetic fields at the heliopause? What is the correlation between observations and model predictions for the magnetic field and plasma quantities? What do space-time variations in the magnetic structure tell us about the physics of the heliosphere and termination shock?
2. What are the physical mechanisms of the IBEX ribbon and distributed ENA fluxes?
3. What are the ion acceleration mechanisms in the inner heliosheath? How do anomalous cosmic rays affect the structure of the heliosphere? What are the reasons of the variation in the galactic and anomalous cosmic ray fluxes observed by Voyager 1?
Scene-setting presentations will be given by David McComas and John Richardson on behalf of the IBEX and Voyager mission teams, respectively, and followed by a discussion on the themes of the session.
