6.4 Outbound Results

The outbound portion of the G2 encounter encompasses the time interval between 19:05:00 and 19:25:00 UT. Figures 6.104 and 6.105 show field line tracings for three absorption features for model M1 and model M2 respectively. The features considered during this phase of the encounter are G2-19:08:51 (anti-moon loss cone) and G2-19:10:51, a loss cone feature. These two features represent the characteristics of all the features during this region. It is in this region where the difference in model becomes important in the reproduction of the absorption features. Not all energy channels for these two features are presented in Chapter 6. Table 6.13 gives information and some details on the plots not shown here which are included in Appendix C.
