Alfvén Wave Propagation in the Io Plasma Torus

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system, fuels a plasma torus around Jupiter with dissociation products of SO2 at a rate of ~1,000 kg/s.

Stellar winds driven by Alfven waves [PDF]

Models of stellar winds were considered in which the dynamic expansion of a corona is driven by Alfven waves propagating outward along radial magnetic field lines.

Investigating the Role of Inward Alfvén Waves and Structures in the Slow Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal
The solar wind dynamics are thought to be governed by counter-propagating Alfvén waves. Alfvén waves generate a turbulent cascade through nonlinear couplings between shearing wave packets. However, imbalances, structures, and intermittency complicate the

Distribution of equatorial Alfvén velocity in the magnetosphere: a statistical analysis of THEMIS observations

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018
It has been known that the Alfvén velocity plays a significant role in generation and propagation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Until now, however, the global distribution of the Alfvén velocity in the magnetosphere has not been reported.

Anisotropic weak turbulence of Alfven waves in collisionless astrophysical plasmas

, 2006
The evolution of Alfven turbulence due to three-wave interactions is discussed using kinetic theory for a collisionless, thermal plasma. There are three low-frequency modes, analogous to the three modes of compressible MHD.

Alfven Waves in the Solar Atmosphere

, 2012
Alfven waves are considered to be viable transporters of the non-thermal energy required to heat the Sun's quiescent atmosphere. An abundance of recent observations, from state-of-the-art facilities, have reported the existence of Alfven waves in a range of chromospheric and coronal structures.
