Density and velocity of O⁺ ions in the X − Z Plane. The color plot represents ion density; the areas where the oxygen ion density is less than 0.001cm⁻³ have been blanked out. The white lines represent the magnetic pileup boundary (MPB, internally) and the bow shock (BS, externally) according to the empirical model by Vignes et al. (2000). The arrows depict the velocity vectors of O⁺ ions.
