Local Interstellar Flow Parameters from the First Intersection of IMAP-Lo's Parameter Tubes

Nathan A. Schwadron, Mitchell M. Shen, Fatemeh Rahmanifard +24

The Sun's motion through the interstellar medium creates a flow of interstellar neutral (ISN) atoms through the heliosphere. ISN He, due to its high universal abundance and relativ…

IBEX Observations of Elastic Scattering of Interstellar Helium by Solar Wind Particles

H. Islam, N. Schwadron, E. Moebius +8

The IBEX-Lo instrument on the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission observes primary and secondary interstellar helium in its 4 lowest energy steps. Observations of these h…

Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen in the Heliosphere: New Horizons Observations in the Context of Models

P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, K. Dialynas +12

Interstellar neutral (ISN) hydrogen is the most abundant species in the outer heliosheath and the very local interstellar medium (VLISM). Charge exchange collisions in the outer he…

The Effect of Angular Scattering Imposed by Charge Exchange and Elastic Collisions on Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen Atoms

F. Rahmanifard, P. Swaczyna, E. J. Zirnstein +7

Angular scattering in charge exchange and elastic collisions between interstellar ions and neutral (ISN) atoms has been assumed to be negligible in previous studies. Here, we inves…

Slowdown and Heating of Interstellar Neutral Helium by Elastic Collisions Beyond the Heliopause

P. Swaczyna, F. Rahmanifard, E. J. Zirnstein +2

Direct sampling of interstellar neutral (ISN) atoms close to the Sun enables studies of the very local interstellar medium (VLISM) around the heliosphere. The primary population of…
