Supplementary information

This file contains Supplementary Discussion; Supplementary Figure S1 with Legend; Supplementary Table 1 with Legend; and additional references. The Supplementary Discussion includes more detailed instrumentation for detection of energetic neutral atoms, data analysis methods and limitation. The Supplementary Figure S1 shows an example of energetic neutral atom observations by STE. The Supplementary Table 1 summarizes the changes in the energy densities and number densities of various plasma/energetic particle populations and magnetic fields across the termination shock.
