High-Resolution Observations of Pickup Ion Mediated Shocks to 60 au
Bishwas L. Shrestha, David J. McComas, Eric J. Zirnstein +10
This study provides a detailed analysis of fourteen distant interplanetary shocks observed by the Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument onboard New Horizons. These shocks were…
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 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…
Investigating the IBEX Ribbon Structure a Solar Cycle Apart
Maher A. Dayeh, Eric J. Zirnstein, Pawel Swaczyna +1
A Ribbon of enhanced energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions was discovered by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) in 2009, redefining our understanding of the heliosphere bou…
Thermodynamics of the inner heliosheath
G. Livadiotis, D. J. McComas, H. O. Funsten +3
We derive annual skymaps of the proton temperature in the inner heliosheath (IHS), and track their temporal evolution over the years from 2009 to 2016 of Interstellar Boundary Expl…
