Prediction for IMAP: Revealing the Role of the Solar Magnetic Field in the Heliotail
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher
The classic paradigm of the heliosphere considered the solar magnetic field as having a passive role in the heliosheath, yet Opher et al. (2015) and Drake et al. (2015) suggested t…

On the anisotropic velocity distribution of newborn pickup ions in the heliosheath
Senbei Du, Merav Opher, Marc Kornbleuth
The evolution of the velocity distribution of pickup ions is crucial for understanding the energetic neutral atom (ENA) fluxes observed by Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX). Pi…
