Energy partitioning between thermal and non-thermal electrons and ions in magnetotail reconnection
Abhishek Rajhans, Mitsuo Oka, Marit Øieroset +9
Magnetic reconnection is an explosive energy release event. It plays an important role in accelerating particles to high non-thermal energies. These particles often exhibit energy…
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…
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…
Interstellar neutral helium in the heliosphere from IBEX observations. VI. The He density and the ionization state in the Very Local Interstellar Matter
M. Bzowski, A. Czechowski, P. C. Frisch +14
Interstellar neutral gas atoms penetrate the heliopause and reach 1~au, where they are detected by IBEX. The flow of neutral interstellar helium through the perturbed interstellar…
Interstellar neutral helium in the heliosphere from IBEX observations. V. Observations in IBEX-Lo ESA steps 1, 2, & 3
Paweł Swaczyna, Maciej Bzowski, Marzena A. Kubiak +9
Direct-sampling observations of interstellar neutral (ISN) He by Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) provide valuable insight into the physical state of and processes operating i…
The downwind hemisphere of the heliosphere: Eight years of IBEX-Lo observations
A. Galli, P. Wurz, N. A. Schwadron +9
We present a comprehensive study of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) of 10 eV to 2.5 keV from the downwind hemisphere of the heliosphere. These ENAs are believed to originate mostly…
Interstellar neutral helium in the heliosphere from IBEX observations. IV. Flow vector, Mach number, and abundance of the Warm Breeze
M. A. Kubiak, P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski +10
With the velocity vector and temperature of the pristine interstellar neutral (ISN) He recently obtained with high precision from a coordinated analysis summarized by McComas et al…
Interstellar Neutral Helium in the Heliosphere from IBEX Observations. I. Uncertainties and Backgrounds in the Data and Parameter Determination Method
P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, M. A. Kubiak +8
This paper is one of three companion papers presenting the results of our in-depth analysis of the interstellar neutral helium (ISN He) observations carried out using the IBEX-Lo d…
The Interstellar Neutral He haze in the heliosphere: what can we learn?
Justyna M. Sokół, M. Bzowski, M. A. Kubiak +7
Neutral interstellar helium has been observed by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) since 2009 with a signal-to-noise ratio well above 1000. Because of the geometry of the o…
Local Interstellar Hydrogen's Disappearance at 1 Au: Four Years of IBEX in the Rising Solar Cycle
Lukas Saul, Maciej Bzowski, Stephen Fuselier +7
NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission has recently opened a new window on the interstellar medium (ISM) by imaging neutral atoms. One "bright" feature in the sky is…
Local Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen sampled in-situ by IBEX
Lukas Saul, Peter Wurz, Diego Rodriguez +9
Hydrogen gas is the dominant component of the local interstellar medium. However, due to ionization and interaction with the heliosphere, direct sampling of neutral hydrogen in the…
