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…
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…
