Self-Consistent Model Of The Interstellar Pickup Protons, Alfvenic Turbulence, And Core Solar Wind In The Outer Heliosphere, Konstantin V. Gamayunov, Ming Zhang, Nikolai V. Pogorelov, Jacob Heerikhuisen, Hamid K. Rassoul
Self-Consistent Model Of The Interstellar Pickup Protons, Alfvenic Turbulence, And Core Solar Wind In The Outer Heliosphere, Konstantin V. Gamayunov, Ming Zhang, Nikolai V. Pogorelov, Jacob Heerikhuisen, Hamid K. Rassoul
Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications
A self-consistent model of the interstellar pickup protons, the slab component of the Alfvenic turbulence, and core solar wind (SW) protons is presented for r {>=} 1 along with the initial results of and comparison with the Voyager 2 (V2) observations. Two kinetic equations are used for the pickup proton distribution and Alfvenic power spectral density, and a third equation governs SW temperature including source due to the Alfven wave energy dissipation. A fraction of the pickup proton free energy, f{sub D} , which is actually released in the waveform during isotropization, is taken from the quasi-linear consideration without …
