Scientific paper

Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission gives us a unique opportunity to analyze global, three-dimensional and time-dependent, structure of the outer heliosphere. Charge exchange between interstellar neutral atoms and ions and interstellar magnetic field, through the heliopause draping, can significantly affect the topology of the heliospheric interface and in this way influence the fluxes of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs). The effects of the time-dependent variation in the latitudinal extent of the slow solar wind are likely to be of comparable importance. Numerical models indicate how the ENA maps may depend on interstellar parameters. By comparing our models with IBEX observations, we make an attempt to bound possible interstellar medium conditions.
