Nonlinear interactions between three inertial Alfvén waves

open access: yes, 2007
The resonant coupling between Alfvén waves is reconsidered. New results are found for cold agnetoplasmas where temperature effects are negligible.

Natural Generation of Alfvén Waves from Three-dimensional Bursty Interchange Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Corona

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Alfvén waves play a significant role in solar coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, and Alfvénic turbulence formation. As a fundamental process, magnetic reconnection has long been credited as a crucial source of Alfvén waves.

LARGE AMPLITUDE ALFVÉN WAVES IN MAGNETOHYDRYNAMICS CONSIDERING INERTIAL TERMS IN THE OHM’S LAW

open access: yesAnales (Asociación Física Argentina)
Incompressible Alfvén waves have been detected in a variety of space and astrophysical plasmas. Some of these plasmas can be studied within the framework of magnetohydrodynamics with extended conditions.

Alfvén waves in the magnetosphere generated by shock wave/plasmapause interaction

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2019
We study Alfvén waves generated in the magnetosphere during the passage of an interplanetary shock wave. After shock wave passage, the oscillations with typical Alfvén wave dispersion have been detected in spacecraft observations inside the magnetosphere.

Reconnection Onset in Overstretched Thin Current Sheets: 3‐D Kinetic Picture

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Evolution of the magnetotail equilibrium, whose current density iso‐contours are stretched beyond the magnetic field lines due to small ion anisotropy and agyrotropic effects on the scales of the thermal ion gyroradius (the so‐called overstretched thin current sheet) is considered using 3‐D explicit particle‐in‐cell simulations.

Discrete Alfvén Waves in Solar Prominences: Preliminary Studies

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geophysics, 1990
It is shown that the Discrete Alfvén wave can explain the natural oscillations of solar prominences by considering the existence of a current flow.

Auroral vortex street formed by the magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling instability [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2015
By performing three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations including Alfvén eigenmode perturbations most unstable to the ionospheric feedback effects, we examined the auroral vortex street that often appears just before substorm onset.

STABILITY OF ALFVEN WINGS IN HMHD

open access: yesAnales (Asociación Física Argentina), 2021
A conducting source moving uniformly through a magnetized plasma generates, among a variety of perturbations,Alfvén waves. Alfvén waves can build up structures in the plasma called Alfvén wings.

On the Curlometer Measurement of Field‐Aligned and Perpendicular Currents in Low Earth Orbit: Swarm Observations and Whole Geospace Simulations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Measuring field‐aligned currents (FACs) using magnetic field observations provides a powerful means to probe the multi‐scale interactions between the magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere. In this study, we benchmark the curlometer technique using Swarm spacecraft observations and simulations of the coupled magnetosphere‐ionosphere system.

Force-free Wave Interaction in Magnetar Magnetospheres: Computational Modeling in Axisymmetry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
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
