Global Heliospheric Termination Shock Strength in the Solar-Interstellar Interaction
E. J. Zirnstein, R. Kumar, B. L. Shrestha +4
A heliospheric termination shock (HTS) surrounds our solar system at approximately 100 astronomical units from the Sun, where the expanding solar wind (SW) is compressed and heated…
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…
Interstellar Conditions Deduced from Interstellar Neutral Helium Observed by IBEX and Global Heliosphere Modeling
P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, J. Heerikhuisen +8
In situ observations of interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms by the IBEX-Lo instrument onboard the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission are used to determine the veloci…
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…
Relative In-flight Response of IBEX-Lo to Interstellar Neutral Helium Atoms
P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, S. A. Fuselier +7
The IBEX-Lo instrument on the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission measures interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms. The detection of helium atoms is made through negative…
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…
