Coronal heating and wind acceleration by nonlinear Alfvén waves – global simulations with gravity, radiation, and conduction [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2008
We review our recent results of global one-dimensional (1-D) MHD simulations for the acceleration of solar and stellar winds. We impose transverse photospheric motions corresponding to the granulations, which generate outgoing Alfvén waves.

Discrete Energy Bands Beyond Galilean Moons: Bounce‐Phase Structuring of Jovian Magnetospheric Particles

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Discrete energy bands of ion fluxes, typically organized in velocity with equal separations, have been frequently observed in Jupiter's magnetosphere either in association with Galilean moons or in regions far from their influence. Here, we focus on the latter type and propose that these bands are manifestations of bounce‐phase structuring ...

Alfven wave coupling experiments of the TCA Tokamak [PDF]

Plasma Physics, 1982
Low power RF absorption experiments have been carried out on the TCA Tokamak using a complete toroidal antenna structure with ranges of frequency and wavelength such that the shear Alfven wave can be excited. The general features of the Alfven absorption are in agreement with predictions.

Polytropic Index and Thermodynamic Behavior of the Central Plasma Sheet Near Lunar Distances

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract In addition to making near‐Earth observations, the THEMIS/ARTEMIS mission is uniquely positioned at lunar distance, in the deep magnetotail, reaching distances of 60 RE ${R}_{E}$ and further. This vantage point allows ARTEMIS to access the plasma sheet and measure entropy evolution across convective channels, plasma flow gradients ...

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

The 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

Anales (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

Solar-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.

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

Annales 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

Anales (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.

Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...
