A kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic model with adaptive mesh refinement for modeling heliosphere neutral-plasma interaction

The charge exchange between the interstellar medium (ISM) and the solar wind plasma is crucial for determining the structures of the heliosphere. Since both the neutral-ion and neutral-neutral collision mean free paths are either comparable to or larger than the size of the heliosphere, the neutral phase space distribution can …
