Scientific paper

During the current solar maximum (Cycle 23), several major CMEs associated with solar flares produced large transient flows and shocks which were observed by widely-separated spacecraft such as Wind at Earth and Voyager 2 beyond 60 AU. Using data from these spacecraft and numerical models, we study shock propagation and interaction in the outer heliosphere. We demonstrate that a strong shock in the distant heliosphere could be an outer heliospheric remnant of a strong shock in the inner heliosphere (``one to one'' relationship), or it could be an outcome of the successive interaction and merging of a series of interplanetary shocks (``one to many'' relationship).
