Scientific paper
Using energetic ion data obtained by the Energetic Particle Anisotropy Spectrometer experiment on the ICE spacecraft the three dimensional ion bulk flow in the mass loading region around the comet P/Giacobini-Zinner is investigated. Relatively abrupt changes in flow speed are found (about 100 km/s) at the boundaries between the pickup and mass loading regions. Flow deflections away from the comet tail of about 15 deg are observed at the boundaries with peaks up to about 30 deg inside the mass loading region. Ion energies of about 300 keV are found inside the mass loading region which suggest the need to consider other ion acceleration mechanisms in addition to solar wind pickup.
