Details

Scientific paper

We will also take into account collisions between ions and the surface of the moon and further sputtering of fragments from the surface of the moon. We will discuss the results of modeling, which includes separate species of pickup ions, (O+ 2 , Na+, and He+) and their combinations. Modeling shows the asymmetric Mach cone, Fig. 1, pickup ion tails, Fig. 2, and presents another type of lunar-solar wind interaction. Our simulation may be important for the study of the interaction between the solar wind and very weak comets, and Pluto (see, e.g. [8, 9, 10, 11]).
