Both heliophysics and planetary physics seek to understand the complex nature of the solar
wind's interaction with solar system obstacles like Earth's magnetosphere, the ionospheres …

We review X-ray plasma diagnostics based on the line ratios of He-like ions. Triplet/singlet
line intensities can be used to determine electronic temperature and density, and were first …

AXIS is a probe-class concept under study for submission to the 2020 Decadal survey. AXIS
will extend and enhance the science of high angular resolution x-ray imaging and …

Charge transfer, or charge exchange, describes a process in which an ion takes one or
more electrons from another atom. Investigations of this fundamental process have …

We discuss here the energy deposition of solar FUV, EUV and X-ray photons, energetic
auroral particles, and pickup ions. Photons and the photoelectrons that they produce may …

Imaging is one of the essential techniques to observe astronomical structures. While
analyzing the observed images, it is a challenge in many scientific fields to reconstruct the 3 …

Highly charged ions play a crucial role in magnetic fusion plasmas. These plasmas are
excellent sources for producing highly charged ions and copious amounts of radiation for …

Abstract The Solar X-ray Monitor (abbreviated as XSM) on board India's Chandrayaan-2
mission is designed to carry out broadband spectroscopy of the Sun from lunar orbit. It …

The soft X‐ray emissions from the Earth's magnetosheath and cusp regions are simulated
under different solar wind conditions, based on the PPMLR‐MHD code. The X‐ray images …

Charge exchange (CX) has emerged in X-ray emission modeling as a significant process
that must be considered in many astrophysical environments—particularly comets. Comets …
