Fig. 6From: Role of the solar wind magnetic field in the interaction of a non-magnetized body with the solar wind: An electromagnetic 2-D particle-in-cell simulationA schematic illustration of the electrons’ access to the surface of the obstacle in the solar wind with the magnetic field (a) θB = -45° and (b) θB = -15° measured from the x axis. The solar wind flows from left to the right (in the x direction).Back to article page
