Survey of pickup ion signatures in the vicinity of Titan using CAPS/IMS [PDF]
, 2016 Pickup ion detection at Titan is challenging because ion cyclotron waves are rarely detected in the vicinity of the moon. In this work, signatures left by freshly produced pickup heavy ions (m/q ∼ 16 to m/q ∼ 28) as detected in the plasma data by the ...

Turbulence Driving by Interstellar Pickup Ions in the Outer Solar Wind
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We revisit the question of how the unstable scattering of interstellar pickup ions (PUIs) may drive turbulence in the outer solar wind and why the energy released into fluctuations by this scattering appears to be significantly less than the standard ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The distribution of turbulence in the heliosphere remains a mystery, due to the complexity in not only modeling the turbulence transport equations but also identifying the drivers of turbulence that vary with time and spatial location.

INTERSTELLAR PICKUP ION PRODUCTION IN THE GLOBAL HELIOSPHERE AND HELIOSHEATH [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT Interstellar pickup ions (PUIs) play a significant part in mediating the solar wind (SW) interaction with the interstellar medium. In this paper, we examine the details of spatial variation of the PUI velocity distribution function (VDF) in the SW by solving the PUI transport equation. We assume the PUI distribution is isotropic

Lifetimes of C-60(2-) and C-70(2-) dianions in a storage ring [PDF]
, 2006 C-60(2-) and C-70(2-) dianions have been produced by electrospray of the monoanions and subsequent electron pickup in a Na vapor cell. The dianions were stored in an electrostatic ring and their decay by electron emission was measured up to 1 s after ...

On the origin of inner-source pickup ions
Geophysical Research Letters, 2003 In situ measurements of pickup ions (PUI) exhibit a component that has nearly thermalized with the solar wind. This implies an origin close to the Sun and is generally ascribed to interaction of the solar wind with interplanetary dust particles (IDPs).

Effects of Neutral Particles on Modified Shocks at Supernova Remnants
, 2010 H-alpha emission from supernova remnants (SNRs) implies the existence of neutral hydrogens in the ambient medium. In the precursor of an SNR shock modified by cosmic rays (CRs), upstream plasmas are pushed by the CR pressure, but neutral particles are ...

Observations of interstellar helium pickup ions in the inner heliosphere [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2013 During the MESSENGER spacecraft's interplanetary trajectory to Mercury, the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) measured the first helium pickup ion distributions at a heliocentric distance (R) ranging between 0.3 and 0.7 AU. From several transits of MESSENGER through the interstellar helium gravitational focusing cone, we map the cone structure in

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence have been performed in order to study the relation between wave modes and coherent structures and the consequent energization of test particles. Moreover,

The Onset of Ion Heating During Magnetic Reconnection with a Strong Guide Field
, 2014 The onset of the acceleration of ions during magnetic reconnection is explored via particle-in-cell simulations in the limit of a strong ambient guide field that self-consistently and simultaneously follow the motions of protons and $\alpha$ particles ...
