Fig. 1.From: The interaction between the Moon and the solar windThe proton number density for an IMF along the direction (1, 1, 0). This also illustrates the coordinate system and the simulation geometry. The cuts are the planes x = −10000 km, x = −30000 km, y = 0, and z = 0. These cutting planes are the same that later are used in Figs. 2–4.Back to article page
