One-Up On L1: Can X-rays Provide Longer Advanced Warning of Solar Wind Flux Enhancements Than Upstream Monitors?
Observations of strong solar wind proton flux correlations with ROSAT X-ray rates along with high spectral resolution Chandra observations of X-rays from the dark Moon show that soft X-ray emission mirrors the behavior of the solar wind. In this paper, based on an analysis of an X-ray event observed by XMM-Newton resulting from charge exchange of high charge state solar wind ions and contempora...
متن کاملRevising the Local Bubble Model due to Solar Wind Charge Exchange X-ray Emission
The hot Local Bubble surrounding the solar neighborhood has been primarily studied through observations of its soft X-ray emission. The measurements were obtained by attributing all of the observed local soft X-rays to the bubble. However, mounting evidence shows that the heliosphere also produces diffuse X-rays. The source is solar wind ions that have received an electron from another atom. Th...
متن کاملX-Ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Emission from Comets
The discovery of high energy X-ray emission in 1996 from C/1996 B2 (Hyakutake) has created a surprising new class of X-ray emitting objects. The original discovery (Lisse et al., 1996) and subsequent detection of X-rays from 17 other comets (Table 1) have shown that the very soft (E < 1 keV) emission is due to an interaction between the solar wind and the comet’s atmosphere, and that X-ray emis...
متن کاملThe Solar Wind Interaction with Venus and Mars: Energetic Neutral Atom and X-ray Imaging
At the non-magnetized planets Venus and Mars, the solar wind comes in direct contact with the planets’ neutrals. This interaction produces energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) and X-rays. In this paper we review some of the different production mechanisms and present examples of simulated ENA and X-ray images. To extract as much information as possible about the ion and neutral distributions in the o...
متن کاملDiscovery of X–rays from Mars with Chandra
On 4 July 2001, X–rays from Mars were detected for the first time. The observation was performed with the ACIS–I detector onboard Chandra and yielded data of high spatial and temporal resolution, together with spectral information. Mars is clearly detected as an almost fully illuminated disk, with an indication of limb brightening at the sunward side, accompanied by some fading on the opposite ...
