Neutral H density at the termination shock: a consolidation of recent results
M. Bzowski, E. Moebius, S. Tarnopolski +2
We discuss a consolidation of determinations of the density of neutral interstellar H at the nose of the termination shock carried out with the use of various data sets, techniques…
Detectability of neutral interstellar deuterium by a forthcoming SMEX mission IBEX
S. Tarnopolski, M. Bzowski
Context: Reconnaissance of feasibility of detection of interstellar neutral D by the forthcoming NASA SMEX mission IBEX. Aims: To investigate by numerical simulations the absolute…
Density of neutral interstellar hydrogen at the termination shock from Ulysses pickup ion observations
M. Bzowski, E. Moebius, S. Tarnopolski +2
By reevaluating a 13-month stretch of Ulysses SWICS H pickup ion measurements near 5 AU close to the ecliptic right after the previous solar minimum, this paper presents a determin…
Neutral atom transport from the termination shock to 1 AU
Maciej Bzowski, Slawomir Tarnopolski
Dynamics of H, D, and heavy Energetic Neutral Atoms (ENA) between the termination shock and 1 AU is discussed in the context of the forthcoming NASA SMEX mission IBEX. In particula…
Solar ions in the heliosheath: a possible new source of heavy neutral atoms
S. Grzedzielski, M. Wachowicz, M. Bzowski +1
We show that multiply ionized coronal C, N, O, Mg, Si, S ions carried by the solar wind and neutralized by consecutive electron captures from neutral interstellar atoms constitute…
Sungrazing comets as source of pickup ions at Earth orbit and Ulysses
M. Bzowski, M. Krolikowska
Most of the sungrazing comets observed by LASCO at SOHO belong to the Kreutz group of comets and follow trajectories that are tightly clumped in space. Statistical analysis of 9 ye…
