An Anomalous Cosmic-Ray Mediated Termination Shock: Implications for Energetic Neutral Atoms

An Anomalous Cosmic-Ray Mediated Termination Shock: Implications for Energetic Neutral Atoms

The Voyager 2 crossing of the termination shock indicated that most of the upstream energy from the thermal solar wind ions was transferred to pickup ions (PUIs) and other energetic particles downstream of the shock. We use hybrid simulations at the termination shock for the Voyager 2, flank, and ta...
