Scientific paper

Recently, very exciting observations of pick-up ions in the solar wind that are due to cometary or interstellar origin could be made for the first time (e.g. by Möbius et al. 1985 - 1987), proving the existence of such ions. Although theory has dealt with these exotic ions for more than a decade, no conclusive, clear-cut picture of their behavior in phase and configuration space was offered up to now. The authors therefore reanalyse this problem starting from a very general basis and in particular they aim at the question whether or not interstellar pick-up ions can heat the bulk of the distant solar wind.
