Simulated spin phase-integrated total counts of NIS D per orbit, compared with the total counts of D atoms sputtered off by NIS He atoms from the terrestrial water layer on the IBEX-Lo conversion surface (grey), and with the total counts of the primary NIS O atom population (black). The total counts of D (purple) are a sum of the counts from the primary (red) and secondary populations (blue). Shown are simulations for the 2010 observation season conditions. An exploded view of the interval where the NIS D signal is on a comparable level to the sputtered signal is shown in Fig. 6.
