MESSENGER Observations of Standing Whistler Waves Upstream of Mercury's Bow Shock
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 This paper reports on the standing whistler waves upstream of Mercury's quasi‐perpendicular bow shock. Using MESSENGER's magnetometer data, 36 wave events were identified during interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs).

SUPRATHERMAL ELECTRONS AT SATURN'S BOW SHOCK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT The leading explanation for the origin of galactic cosmic rays is particle acceleration at the shocks surrounding young supernova remnants (SNRs), although crucial aspects of the acceleration process are unclear. The similar collisionless plasma shocks frequently encountered by spacecraft in the solar wind are generally far ...

HH 34: The Bow Shock of a Jet [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 Deep CCD imaging of HH 34 in H∝ shows that the HH-object has a bow shock-like structure, of which the wings can be traced over about 1 arcmin ( pc). A knotty jet is pointing towards the apex of the bow shock structure. Long-slit spectroscopy reveals that 1) the jet has approximately a constant radial velocity and electron density. 2).

Bow Shock and Upstream Phenomena at Mars [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2004 Mars Global Surveyor is the sixth spacecraft to return measurements of the Martian bow shock. The earlier missions were Mariner 4 (1964), Mars 2 and 3 (1972), Mars 5 (1975) and Phobos 2 (1989) (see reviews by Gringauz, 1981; Slavin and Holzer, 1982; Russell, 1985; Vaisberg, 1992a,b; Zakharov, 1992).

Bow shock motions observed with CLUSTER [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2003 The Cluster mission allows the determination not only of the bow shock crossing position but also, with a simple timing method and a reasonable confidence, the shock normal and the velocity along this normal. We apply this technique to a series of eleven consecutive bow shock crossings which occurred during a time interval of approximatively two and a ...

Variability of Bow Shock Location at Mars [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999 Bow shock formation, in case the supersonic solar wind flow is hindered by the atmosphere of Mars, is investigated. The atoms newly ionized from the extensive neutral atmosphere of Mars are loaded to the solar wind.

Reflection of the strahl within the foot of the Earth's bow shock [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2019 The reflection of a fraction of the solar wind at the bow shock to some extent defines the physical properties of what is known as the foreshock, the region where the interplanetary magnetic field has a direct connection to the bow shock.

A model of the magnetosheath magnetic field during magnetic clouds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2014 Magnetic clouds (MCs) are huge interplanetary structures which originate from the Sun and have a paramount importance in driving magnetospheric storms. Before reaching the magnetosphere, MCs interact with the Earth's bow shock.

Multispacecraft observations of the terrestrial bow shock and magnetopause during extreme solar wind disturbances [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 Three events are discussed from the declining phase of the last solar cycle when the magnetopause and/or the bow shock were observed unusually close to the Earth due to major interplanetary disturbances.
