We have known for a while that there is some interaction between comets and Solar Wind.

Yes, but we have "known" for longer that they are sublimating dirty-snowy ice balls |
Have a look at
this:

The Sun's radiation pressure and solar wind accelerate materials away from the comet's head at differing velocities according to the size and mass of the materials.

This is a strawman: mainstream astrophysics does not say that the interaction between Solar Wind and comet is responsible for melting the surface material.
The comet is heated by the electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, not by the Solar Wind.

Similar things can happen with the Earth, but the Earth has a magnetic field as well, so things are not exactly the same as for comets.
By the way, you have not explained what the Earth's magnetosphere has to do with the X-ray emission from comets.

First, what makes you think that the Earth needs to be in a circuit? Give us the details.
Second, what makes you think that comets display the same properties?
After all, the charge-exchange explanation for X-ray emission from comets does not require circuits.

I see that you have not slightest idea what research is about

I am still waiting for EU believers to come up with
any viable theory.
But are
you prepared to face the fact that EU proponents are wrong?

We were talking about comets.
Can you distinguish cosmology from comets?

In the meantime, astronomers and physicists will keep doing real research.

You have never been involved in research, have you?

Besides your wishful thinking.
