Abstract
Interplanetary outflows from coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are structures shaped by their magnetic fields. Sometimes these fields are highly ordered and reflect properties of the solar magnetic field. Field lines emerging in CMEs are presumably connected to the Sun at both ends, but about half lose their connection at one end by the time they are observed in ICMEs. All must eventually lose one connection in order to prevent a build-up of flux in the heliosphere; but since little change is observed between 1 AU and 5 AU, this process may take months to years to complete. As ICMEs propagate out into the heliosphere, they kinematically elongate in angular extent, expand from higher pressure within, distort owing to inhomogeneous solar wind structure, and can compress the ambient solar wind, depending upon their relative speed. Their magnetic fields may reconnect with solar wind fields or those of other ICMEs with which they interact, creating complicated signatures in spacecraft data.
