LOCAL INTERSTELLAR NEUTRAL HYDROGEN SAMPLED IN SITU BY IBEX Citation
Hydrogen gas is the dominant component of the local interstellar medium. However, owing to ionization and interaction with the heliosphere, direct sampling of neutral hydrogen in the inner heliosphere is more difficult than sampling the local interstellar neutral helium, which penetrates deep into the heliosphere. In this paper, we report on the first detailed analysis of the direct sampling of...
متن کاملCharting the Interstellar Magnetic Field Causing the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (ibex) Ribbon of Energetic Neutral Atoms
The interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the heliosphere is a fundamental component of the solar galactic environment that can only be studied using polarized starlight. The results of an ongoing survey of the linear polarizations of local stars are analyzed with the goal of linking the ISMF that shapes the heliosphere to the nearby field in interstellar space. We present new results on the ...
متن کاملThe ion-optical prototype of the low energy neutral atom sensor of the Interstellar Boundary Explorer Mission (IBEX).
The direct measurement of the energetic neutral atoms originating from the heliospheric termination shock and beyond as well as neutral interstellar gas penetrating into the heliosphere requires a very sensitive neutral particle imaging instrument in the energy range of 10-1000 eV. We present the development of the prototype of the low energy sensor for the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX)...
متن کاملSlowdown of the Solar Wind in the Outer Heliosphere and the Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen Density
Voyager 2 and Ulysses were at nearly the same latitude in the southern heliosphere at the beginning of 1999 and their radial separation was about 55 AU. The e ect of pickup ions should be profound at Voyager's position, especially, the deceleration of the solar wind ow. This unique opportunity allows us to investigate the e ect of pickup ions based on direct multi-spacecraft observations. The U...
متن کاملNeutral Hydrogen and the Missing Satellites of the Local Group
We present a comparison of the leftover satellites at z=0 in a cold dark matter dominated simulation of the formation of the Local Group to the distribution of observed neutral hydrogen high-velocity clouds and compact high-velocity clouds. The ∼2000 leftover satellites in the simulation have dark matter masses which range between 0.5 to 10 × 10 9 M ⊙ , sizes between 3 to 30 kpc, and distances ...
