IBEX-Hi and IBEX-Lo Instruments Correlate Ribbon Feature

Caption

IBEX uses two sensors to observe the interstellar boundary. IBEX-Lo measures ENAs from about 10 electron volts (eV) to 2 kilo-electron volts (keV). IBEX-Hi measures particles from about 300 eV to 6 keV. Both instruments reveal similar ribbon-like structures.
