Deriving the location of the magnetopause from SMILE SXI data

The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission is due for launch in 2024. The instrument suite on SMILE contains the Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) instrument which will image the X-rays produced within the Earth's magnetosheath and cusp regions by the solar wind charge exchange process. The data from SXI will be used to monitor global movement in the magnetopause boundaries due to changing solar wind input.

The subject of this presentation is an overview of the current work on the methodology behind extracting spatial information on the 3D structures of the magnetosphere from 2D X-ray images with reference to the capabilities of the SXI.
