Variability in Saturn's bow shock and magnetopause from pioneer and voyager: Probabilistic predictions and initial observations by Cassini

, 2005
Probability distributions for the location of the Saturnian bow shock and magnetopause have been derived by extrapolating observations of dynamic solar wind pressures to the position of Saturn's orbit. These observations are those made by the Pioneer 11,

Probing the Low-velocity Regime of Nonradiative Shocks with Neutron Star Bow Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Nonradiative shocks accelerate particles and heat astrophysical plasmas. While supernova remnants are the most well-studied example, neutron star (NS) bow shocks are also nonradiative and Balmer dominated.

E-BOSS: An Extensive stellar BOw Shock Survey [PDF]

, 2015
Context. Stellar bow shocks have been studied not only observationally, but also theoretically since the late 1980s. Only a few catalogues of them exist.

Fundamental Parameters for Central Stars of 103 Infrared Bow Shock Nebulae

The Astrophysical Journal
Stellar bow shock nebulae are arcuate shock fronts formed by the interaction of radiation-driven stellar winds and the relative motion of the ambient interstellar material.

Earth’s magnetosphere and outer radiation belt under sub-Alfvénic solar wind

Nature Communications, 2016
The interaction between the Earth’s magnetic field and the solar wind results in the formation of a collisionless bow shock. Here, the authors study an even in which the solar wind Mach number remained steadily below one, leading to the evanescence of ...

Using a Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Model to Simulate the Magnetospheric Response to a Kinetic Foreshock Transient

Geophysical Research Letters
A global magnetohydrodynamic model predicts the response of the magnetosphere to the passage of a foreshock transient. We simulate the transient as an antisunward‐ and dawnward‐moving slab of hot tenuous solar wind plasma and weak magnetic field ...

Stability Analysis of Bow Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal, 1996
We present a linear stability analysis of bow shocks created by the interaction of a spherical wind moving with respect to its surrounding medium. The bounding shocks are assumed isothermal and with Mach number M = infinity. Following Soker (1990) we study the evolution of short wavelength perturbations.

Predictions of the solar wind interaction with Comet Grigg-Skjellerup

, 1992
The planned encounter of the Giotto spacecraft with comet Grigg-Skjellerup on 10th July 1992 promises to extend our knowledge of the solar wind interaction with comets substantially.

Cone angle control of the interaction of magnetic clouds with the Earth's bow shock

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
We study the interaction of magnetic clouds (MCs) with the near‐Earth environment. Recent works suggest that the bow shock crossing may modify significantly the magnetic structure of an MC, and thus its ability to drive geomagnetic storms. This change is
