Fig. 6.

The total tailward heavy ion flux inside the nominal IMB [s−1] as function of tail distance [RM] is shown with a bold black line and triangles. Total flux from the low energy component (fit to ions below 50 eV) is shown with a thin black line with circles. The total flux in the high energy component (above 50 eV) is shown with a thick grey line with crosses. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of the total flux of all angular bins added as independent variables.
