THE EXISTENCE AND NATURE OF THE INTERSTELLAR BOW SHOCK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 We report a new diagnostic between two different states of the local interstellar medium (LISM) near our solar system using a sensitivity study constrained by several distinct and complementary observations of the LISM, solar wind, and inner heliosphere.

Evolution of heat transfer at the stagnation point during the detached bow shock establishment
, 2021 The diffraction of a shock wave over a stationary body is a problem of interest associated with the starting of shock tubes and expansion tubes which are well suited to studies of hypersonic flows.

The role of the bow shock in solar wind-magnetosphere coupling [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2011 In this paper we examine the role of the bow shock in coupling solar wind energy to the magnetosphere using global magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction with southward IMF.

Double Layers in the Earth's Bow Shock
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 AbstractWe present Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of electrostatic double layers in quasi‐perpendicular Earth's bow shock. These double layers have predominantly parallel electric field with amplitudes up to 100 mV/m, spatial widths of 50–700 m, and plasma frame speeds within 100 km/s. The potential drop across a single double layer is 2%–7% of

Martian Bow Shock and Magnetic Pile-Up Barrier Formation Due to the Exosphere Ion Mass-Loading [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2011 Bow shock, formed by the interaction between the solar wind and a planet, is generated in different patterns depending on the conditions of the planet.

Singularities in mass-loaded MHD flow: The cometary bow shock [PDF]
, 1991 We present a one-dimensional model of the mass-loading of the solar wind by cometary ions which predicts a singularity in the mass-loaded flow at M = 2. Further, a subshock occurs when the flow speed reaches M almost-equal-to 1.15.

Bow shocks, bow waves, and dust waves – III. Diagnostics [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 ABSTRACT Stellar bow shocks, bow waves, and dust waves all result from the action of a star’s wind and radiation pressure on a stream of dusty plasma that flows past it. The dust in these bows emits prominently at mid-infrared wavelengths in the range 8 to 60 $\mu$m.

Cassini encounters with hot flow anomaly-like phenomena at Saturn's bow shock [PDF]
, 2008 The first observations of the kronian equivalent of hot flow anomalies (HFAs) are presented. Using magnetic field and plasma data we discuss two events that were observed upstream of Saturn's bow shock during the first two orbits of the Cassini ...

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 ...

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).
