Скачать или смотреть NSN Webinar Series: Solar Waves in Interstellar Space: Findings from Voyager with Dr. Jamie Rankin

We were joined by Dr. Jamie Rankin on Thursday, November 20, to discuss the plasma, magnetic field, and particle environment from the Sun to the interstellar medium, as observed by Voyager 1 & 2.

About Dr. Jamie Rankin:
Dr. Jamie Sue Rankin received her PhD from Caltech in 2019 under Dr. Ed Stone, who served as the Voyager’s project scientist for 50 years – from its inception to interstellar space. Jamie arrived at Caltech 6 days after Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause and has continued to watch history unfold ever since! Her PhD thesis was the first to analyze these surprising new measurements from beyond our astrosphere. Now a Research Scholar at Princeton University, Jamie serves as the Deputy Project Scientist of the Voyager mission (https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voya.... She also leads the Solar Wind and Pickup Ion (SWAPI) instrument on NASA’s IMAP mission, which launched into space on September 24, 2025 (https://imap.princeton.edu/) and is now making its way to L1. Jamie also studies the energetic particle observations at the other heliospheric extreme – very close in to the Sun – on Parker Solar Probe.
