Analysis of Magnetic Fields in Inertial Alfven Wave Collisions
Turbulence in astrophysical and space plasmas is dominated by the nonlinear interaction of counterpropagating Alfven waves. Most Alfven wave turbulence theories have been based on ideal plasma models, such as incompressible MHD, for Alfven waves at large

On resistive dissipation of Alfvén waves in an isothermal atmosphere
In this paper we will examine the reflection and dissipation of Alfvén waves, resulting from a uniform vertical magnetic field, in an inviscid, resistive and isothermal atmosphere.

Statistical Study of Short Large‐Amplitude Magnetic Structures at Mars Observed by MAVEN
Abstract We present a statistical study of Short Large‐Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) in the Martian foreshock using data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission between 01 January 2015 and 31 December 2019. We have identified 21,008 SLAMS during this time interval and statistical results are presented on the SLAMS ...

The transformation of magnetoacoustic waves into Alfvén waves inside the magnetosphere [PDF]
A mechanism for the transformation of a magnetoacoustic wave into an Alfvén wave is proposed. During the compression of the magnetosphere by the solar wind the inner edge of the plasma sheet and the contours of B=const move in different ways.

Abstract We present a novel data analysis technique based on physics‐informed neural networks (PINNs) to reconstruct two‐dimensional (2D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and Hall MHD equilibria in a space plasma from in situ spacecraft measurements. Our method incorporates the steady‐state MHD or Hall MHD equations—a set of partial differential equations ...

Magnetohydrodynamic Slow Mode with Drifting He$^{++}$: Implications for Coronal Seismology and the Solar Wind [PDF]
The MHD slow mode wave has application to coronal seismology, MHD turbulence, and the solar wind where it can be produced by parametric instabilities. We consider analytically how a drifting ion species (e.g.

Force-free Wave Interaction in Magnetar Magnetospheres: Computational Modeling in Axisymmetry
Crustal quakes of highly magnetized neutron stars can disrupt their magnetospheres, triggering energetic phenomena like X-ray and fast radio bursts. Understanding plasma wave dynamics in these extreme environments is vital for predicting energy transport

The mechanism of mid-latitude Pi2 waves in the upper ionosphere as revealed by combined Doppler and magnetometer observations [PDF]
The interpretation of simultaneous ionospheric Doppler sounding and ground magnetometer observations of low-latitude Pi2 waves is revised. We compare the theoretical estimates of the ionospheric Doppler velocity for the same amplitude of the ground ...

Global Energy Circulation During a Solar Wind Density Pulse
Abstract We study the propagation and impacts of a strong density pulse through the magnetosphere during 11:40–12:00 UT near the peak of a geomagnetic storm on 3 February 2022. Using the Space Weather Modeling Framework Geospace global simulation, we show how the energy transport in the magnetosphere is enhanced promptly after the pulse arrival at the ...
