Comparison of ENA fluxes from early 2016 to early 2017 from CG corrected ram data. The IBEX Ribbon is visible in the lowest energies, 0.7 and 1.1 keV. At higher energies, the ENAs are progressively enhanced with increasing energy from the 1.7 to 2.7 to 4.3 keV energy bands, consistent with the greater generation and faster return of higher energy ENAs calculated by the numerical model (Figure 1).
