Pagani, C.; Kuntz, K. D.; Koutroumpa, D. +3 more

The Earth's magnetosheath and cusps emit soft X-rays due to the charge exchange between highly charged solar wind ions and exospheric hydrogen atoms. The Lunar Environment Heliospheric X-ray Imager and Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer missions are scheduled to image the Earth's dayside magnetosphere system in soft X-rays to invest…
