Description for The Heliosphere in the Local Interstellar Medium. Proceedings of the First ISSI Workshop, 6-10 November 1995, Berne, Switzerland.
Hardback. Gives an overview of knowledge about the local interstellar medium (LISM) surrounding our heliosphere (HS). This volume is the result of the first workshop at ISSI, where both space physicists and astronomers presented their views on the density, velocity, temperature, composition, and morphology of the LISM and how it interacts with the HS. Editor(s): von Steiger, Rudolf; Lallement, R.; Lee, M. A. Series: Space Sciences Series of ISSI. Num Pages: 413 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PGM; PGS. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 24. Weight in Grams: 866.
In summary, we can conclude that the contributions of the different ionization processes to the total ionization rate for the most abundant interstellar species are basically known. The ionization of the noble gases He and Ne is almost completely dominated by photoionization, whereas for H charge-exchange with the solar wind is most important. For other species, such as 0 and Ar, both processes contribute significantly. Electron impact ionization can typically contribute by '" 10% to the total rate in the inner Solar System. Because direct measurements of the solar EUV flux are not yet continuously available, the variation of the ... Read more
