Filtration of Interstellar Neutral Helium by Elastic and Charge Exchange Collisions in Heliospheric Boundaries

Interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms penetrating the heliosphere are used to find the flow velocity and temperature of the very local interstellar medium near the heliosphere. Recently, it was found that, in addition to charge exchange collisions, elastic collisions contribute to the filtration o...
