Scientific paper

Photoionization of neutral molecules in the coma surrounding a comet produces heavy ions which contaminate and mass-load the solar wind. Cometary ion distribution functions in the vicinity of Comet Giacobini-Zinner (GZ) are calculated using a Monte Carlo method. The distribution function calculated behind the shock has both cold (approximately 2 keV) and hot (approximately 40 keV) components.
