Empirical Functions for Highly Charged Ion Abundances in Solar Wind Charge Exchange Models: Addressing Post-2011 ACE Data Limitations

2025

Upcoming imaging missions - NASA’s LEXI and ESA/CAS’s SMILE - will target solar wind charge exchange X-ray (SWCX) emission from Earth’s magnetosheath. This emission is generated by highly charged ions colliding with neutrals in Earth’s …
