Determining the IBEX Ribbon Transverse Profile from ENA Temporal Variations: A Proof of Concept for IMAP Observations

Since its discovery in 2009, the IBEX energetic neutral atom (ENA) Ribbon has been a subject of numerous studies. It appears at energies ∼0.5–6 keV and is most pronounced at ∼1–3 keV. It is almost circular, ∼20°–40° wide, and its center lies near the pristine local interstellar magnetic field direct...
