Abstract:Absorption of the Lyman-α radiation on Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen (ISN H) atoms in the heliosphere is a potentially important effect to account for in precise gas distribution simulations. In this paper we develop a method to estimate the magnitude of absorption of solar Lyman-α radiation inside the solar wind termination shock and to include absorption effects in the Warsaw Test Particle Model (WTPM) by an appropriate modification of radiation pressure. We perform calculations of absorption effects on a 3D… Show more
