| الوصف: | We present an alternate interpretation of recent STEREO/STE observations that were originally attributed to energetic neutral atoms (ENA) from the heliosheath. The signal attributed to the diffuse ENA source instead shows the characteristics of a point source. We point out that the peak intensity seen by STEREO/STE is centered at the ecliptic longitude of the bright X-ray source Sco X-1. The observed energy spectrum and intensity are also consistent with the X-rays from Sco X-1. The problem of energy dissipation at the solar wind termination shock remains unsolved while current understanding of the interaction between the solar wind and interstellar wind awaits future observations. Comment: Accepted by ApJL |
