Bulk Properties of Pickup Ions Derived from the Ulysses Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer Data
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Nonthermal, pickup ions (PUIs) represent an energetic component of the solar wind (SW). While a number of theoretical models have been proposed to describe the PUI flow, of major importance are in situ measurements providing us with the vital source of ...

Pick-up ion dynamics at the structured quasi-perpendicular shock [PDF]
, 1997 We study the pickup ion dynamics and mechanism of multiple reflection and acceleration at the structured quasi-perpendicular supercritical shock. The motion of the pickup ions in the shock is studied analytically and numerically using the test particle ...

Ion pickup observed at comet 67P with the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) particle sensors: similarities with previous observations and AMPTE releases, and effects of increasing activity [PDF]
, 2015 Rosetta’s unique trajectory is allowing exciting measurements of the development of cometary activity between ~3.6 and 1.2 AU for the first time. For a few months following Rosetta’s arrival at comet 67P in August 2014, data from the Rosetta Plasma ...

Solar Control of the Pickup Ion Plume in the Dayside Magnetosheath of Venus
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Using the 8.5‐year Venus Express measurements, we demonstrate the asymmetric plasma distributions in the Venusian magnetosheath. An escaping plume is formed by pickup oxygen ions in the hemisphere where the motional electric field points outward from ...

Pickup Ions beyond the Heliopause
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract Fluxes of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) with energies greater than 1 KeV measured by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) are predominantly created by charge exchange of interstellar neutral atoms with hot, nonthermal (pickup) ions. Since the properties of pickup ions (PUIs) depend on the place of their birth, they bear an
