ENA imaging simulation of the distant planetary magnetosphere and ENA emission discussion of the solar wind
View through CrossRef
Whether the “ENA ribbon” image scanned remotely by IBEX-Hi at the
lunar Resonance orbit really comes from the heliopause? It involves
assessing the scale of solar wind particle loss throughout the solar
system. The ENA imaging simulation results at the Lagrange point show
that the scale of the planetary magnetosphere with a telemetry distance
of AU magnitude is too small to contribute to “ENA ribbon”. But the
simulated effective ENA differential fluxes provide a reference for the
physical scale evaluation of the huge magnetic structure in the
heliopause. Near earth orbit, the ENA differential flux generated by the
charge exchange between solar wind ions and local neutral gas is
equivalent to the measurements of “ENA ribbon”, which may be the main
ENA emission source of the “ENA ribbon”. If the ion flow of solar wind
forms a tailward distribution loop under galactic wind pressure, the
morphology difference of the ENA ribbon measured by IBEX-Hi between the
Ram and anti-ram direction can be explained. 2D ENA imaging measurements
at Lagrange points proposed here can be used to investigate the ENA
ribbon origination by using the energy spectral lag vs disparity of ENA
images.
