Scientific paper

The fast ions in the solar wind interact with neutral molecules and atoms in the coma of comets through charge exchange processes. The resulting excited species decay through ultraviolet or X-ray emission. Conversely, observations of cometary far ultraviolet and X-ray emission can provide detailed insight in the interaction between comets and the solar wind. Based on an extensive interaction model, we identify the principal experimental and observational needs for the interpretation of cometary XUV emission.
