Signatures of Reconnection and a Split Heliospheric Tail in High-Energy Energetic Neutral Atoms
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, J. F. Drake +10
The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement whether the heliosph…
The Effect of Magnetic Field Dissipation in the Inner Heliosheath: Reconciling Global Heliosphere Model and Voyager Data
Sergey D. Korolkov, Igor I. Baliukin, Merav Opher
Global ideal magnetohydrodynamic models of the heliosphere typically predict a greatly exaggerated magnetic field pile-up in the inner heliosheath (IHS), the region between the ter…
Understanding the IBEX ribbon using the kinetic model of pickup proton transport in a scatter-free limit
Igor Baliukin, Vladislav Izmodenov
One of the most remarkable discoveries by the IBEX is the ribbon - a narrow band of enhanced ENA fluxes observed in the sky. The prevailing explanation attributes the IBEX ribbon t…
Impact of Stochastic Acceleration on the Pickup Proton Distribution and ENA Fluxes in the Heliosphere
Igor Baliukin
The paper describes a kinetic model of pickup proton distribution in the heliosphere that considers the process of stochastic acceleration by the small-scale Alfvenic and large-sca…
Adiabatic energy change in the inner heliosheath: How does it affect the distribution of pickup protons and energetic neutral atom fluxes?
I. I. Baliukin, V. V. Izmodenov, D. B. Alexashov
The hydrogen atoms penetrate the heliosphere from the local interstellar medium, and while being ionized, they form the population of pickup protons. The distribution of pickup pro…
Energetic pickup proton population downstream of the termination shock as revealed by the IBEX-Hi data
I. I. Baliukin, V. V. Izmodenov, D. B. Alexashov
The pickup protons originate as a result of the ionization of hydrogen atoms in the supersonic solar wind, forming the suprathermal component of protons in the heliosphere. While p…
Signature of a heliotail organized by the solar magnetic field and the role of non-ideal processes in modeled IBEX ENA maps: a comparison of the BU and Moscow MHD models
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, I. Baliukin +9
Energetic neutral atom (ENA) models typically require post-processing routines to convert the distributions of plasma and H atoms into ENA maps. Here we investigate how two differe…
The development of a split-tail heliosphere and the role of non-ideal processes: a comparison of the BU and Moscow models
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, I. Baliukin +11
Global models of the heliosphere are critical tools used in the interpretation of heliospheric observations. There are several three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heliosphe…
Heliospheric Energetic Neutral Atoms: Non-stationary Modeling and Comparison with IBEX-Hi data
I. I. Baliukin, V. V. Izmodenov, D. B. Alexashov
The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has been measuring fluxes of the Energetic Neutral Atoms (ENAs) using the IBEX-Hi (0.3 -- 6 keV) instrument since 2008. We have developed…
