DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dibyendu Chakrabarty (Physical Research Laboratory\,
  India)\n\nAbstractHeliosphere is the region in the milky way galaxy gover
 ned by our star\, the Sun. In recent times\, there have been many concerte
 d efforts to understand the shape\, characteristics of heliosphere and it'
 s interaction with the local interstellar medium. Within the heliosphere\,
  solar system planets - unmagnetized\, intrinstically magnetized or magnet
 ically induced - exist with various forms of atmosphere and ionosphere. Th
 e solar radiation\, particles and magnetic field interact with these plane
 ts and dictate the space weather perturbations. Particles (ions and electr
 ons) are important messengers that not only carry important information fr
 om the Sun into the heliosphere but also act as messengers from the inters
 teller medium. With the Aditya-L1 mission\, India has taken first step tow
 ards measuring the solar wind and energetic particle fluxes as well as sol
 ar wind bulk parameters like density\, velocity\, temperature etc. The dir
 ectional measurements of these particles are opening up new ways to unders
 tand the heliosphere\, solar wind\, energetic particles and space weather.
  Some of these interesting aspects will be discussed. \n\nhttps://events.
