Solar wind ion charge state distributions and compound cross sections for solar wind charge exchange X-ray emission

Koutroumpa, Dimitra

Solar Wind Charge eXchange X-ray (SWCX) emission in the heliosphere and Earth's exosphere is a hard to avoid signal in soft X-ray observations of astrophysical targets. On the other hand, the X-ray imaging possibilities offered by the SWCX process has led to an increasing number of future dedicated space missions for investigating the solar wind-t…
