Negative and positive electric charge flows through the solar system based on the Voyager data

Any stars permanently loose small amounts of mass during their lifetimes. This mass is propelled outward at velocities in the range 100 to 3000 𝑘𝑚/𝑠 at ionization temperatures. This mass flow is called stellar winds. As cosmic rays permanently and ubiquitously pervade the entire Galaxy, while impacting on stellar winds, loose energy. This process is known since 70 years. Due to the prevailing positive charge of cosmic rays, the ambient around the star occupied by the stellar winds remains positively charged until the charge excess is dissipated by conductive media. This work calculates the global electric charges deposited by cosmic rays within the termination shock of the solar wind.
