Spectral Evolution of Pickup Ions across Interplanetary Shocks in the Outer Heliosphere: Observational Constraints and Transport Simulations

Pickup ions (PUIs) often experience acceleration and heating as they traverse interplanetary shocks, leading to the formation of a distinct suprathermal tail in their energy spectra downstream of the shock. Combining in situ observations and numerical simulations, we investigate how interplanetary s...
