Neutral atoms are closely coupled to the emerging solar wind plasma in the solar corona. After escaping from this region, where the solar wind plasma experiences several acceleration processes, beyond 3 solar radii the neutral atoms become more and more decoupled from the plasma. Therefore, the neutral atoms may be considered as an in-situ trace particle population flowing within the solar wind plasma, since they allow the information of the acceleration regions to be reconstructed by remote detection from any vantage point. Hence, the actual neutral solar wind (NSW) detection allows estimates of the emerging solar wind density, bulk velocity, temperature, and anisotropy. In the present study, we simulate the NSW distribution as expected at the Solar Orbiter position, considering the major parameters of a coronal-hole emerging solar wind as estimated by the SOHO UVCS experiment.
