On the Anisotropic Velocity Distribution of Newborn Pickup Ions in the Heliosheath
The evolution of the velocity distribution of pickup ions is crucial for understanding the energetic neutral atom (ENA) fluxes observed by Interstellar Boundary Explorer.Pickup ions in the heliosheath contain two main components: those transmitted across the heliospheric termination shock here and those locally created within the heliosheath.In thi
