Interstellar pickup ions are an ubiquitous and thermodynamically important component of
the solar wind plasma in the heliosphere. These PUIs are born from the ionization of the …

On 19 October 1995 the Geotail satellite skimmed along the quasi‐perpendicular bow shock
for more than 3 hours, and field‐aligned ion beams (FABs) were continuously observed in …

Field‐aligned and gyrophase bunched ion beams are observed in the foreshock of the Earth
bow shock. One of the mechanisms proposed for their production is non‐specular reflection …

Abstract Suprathermal (87–212 keV/e) singly charged iron, Fe+, has been discovered in and
near Earth's~ 9–30 RE equatorial magnetosphere using~ 21 years of Geotail STICS …

Abstract On 05 December 2015 the Magnetospheric MultiScale constellation observed
interstellar pickup ion distributions during an inbound crossing of Earth's perpendicular bow …

The focused transport theory is appropriate to describe the injection and acceleration of low-
energy particles at shocks as an extension of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). In this …

Abstract Accelerated He+ pickup ions (PUIs) downstream of quasiperpendicular shocks are
studied as a function of the fast-mode Mach number (M f) and shock obliquity (θ Bn). We …

A particle-in-cell code is used to examine contributions of the pickup ions (PIs) and the solar
wind ions (SWs) to the cross shock electric field at the supercritical, perpendicular shocks …

Interstellar pickup ions (PUI) are interstellar neutrals that have been ionized in transit
through the heliosphere via charge exchange or photoionization. These new PUIs then" …

The Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) scanner on board the Planet‐B spacecraft observed the He I
58.4‐nm emission of the local interstellar gas in interplanetary space during solar maximum …
