Abstract: Neutral atom imaging of the interstellar gas flow in the inner heliosphere provides the most detailed information on physical conditions of the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and its interaction with the heliosphere. The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) measured neutral H, He, O, and Ne for three years. We compare the He and combined O + Ne flow distributions for two interstellar flow passages in 2009 and 2010 with an analytical calculation, which is simplified because the IBEX orientation provides… Show more

“…These results differ significantly from the results obtained from IBEX observations by Bzowski et al (2012) and Möbius et al (2012), even after reconciling some small differences between these authors by McComas et al (2012). Both Bzowski et al (2012) and Möbius et al (2012) pointed out, however, that acceptable parameters obtained from the IBEX analysis form long narrow tubes in the parameter space.…”

“…Based on measurements carried out from mid-1990s to 2001, GAS obtained a J2000 longitude λ = 255.4 • ± 0.5 • , a latitude β = 5.2 • ± 0.2 • , a speed v = 26.3 ± 0.4 km s −1 , and a temperature T = 6300 ± 340 K (Witte 2004; see also Witte et al 1996Witte et al , 2004, while IBEX found λ = 259.2 • or 259.0 • , with an uncertainty of ∼3 • , and β = 5.1 • or 4.9 • , v = 22.8 or 23.5 km s −1 , T = 6200 or 5300−9000 K by Bzowski et al (2012) and by Möbius et al (2012), respectively from measurements carried out in 2009 and 2010. The parameter values obtained from IBEX are tightly correlated with the inflow longitude, and the acceptable parameter ranges form long alleys in the parameter space.…”

“…Since 2008, these neutrals are measured by IBEX amongst others, from which one can derive u LISM and the temperature of the interstellar neutral flow, T ISN , through the hyperbolic trajectory equation (see Bzowski et al 2012;Möbius et al 2012). The inflow vector can also be expressed by the inflow longitude, λ flow ; latitude, β flow ; and speed, V ISN .…”
