Hybrid Simulations of Interstellar Pickup Ions at the Solar Wind Termination Shock Revisited

We revisit previous hybrid simulations of the heating and acceleration of interstellar pickup ions (PUIs) at the solar wind termination shock. In previous simulations, a relatively cold initial distribution of PUIs was assumed; and while the resulting shock-heated distribution was consistent with Vo...
