Scientific paper

We propose to use the EPIC detectors to map out Solar Wind Charge Exchange (SWCX) emission from the upstream (relative to the solar wind) portion of Earth's magnetosheath. This is the region of maximum expected emission which peaks at the subsolar location. These observations will be used to investigate SWCX emission models which have never been tested for lack of appropriate data, study the interaction between the solar wind and the near-Earth environment in a new and novel manner, calibrate the contribution of this emission to observations of more distant objects, and test the utility of using X-ray observations to study global phenomena which currently can only be investigated using in situ measurements.
