Solar-Wind Structures That Are Not Destroyed by the Action of Solar-Wind Turbulence
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 If MHD turbulence is a dominant process acting in the solar wind between the Sun and 1 AU, then the destruction and regeneration of structure in the solar-wind plasma is expected.

How Turbulent is the Magnetically Closed Corona?
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 We argue that the magnetically closed corona evolves primarily quasi-statically, punctuated by many localized bursts of activity associated with magnetic reconnection at a myriad of small current sheets.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 To obtain measurements that will address some outstanding questions about the properties and origin of the magnetic and plasma structure of the heliosphere a simple single-spacecraft mission at one AU is outlined.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 As a test of the action of MHD turbulence in the solar wind, the compression of the heliospheric magnetic structure at 1AU by 109 interplanetary shocks is examined.

Current Sheet Statistics in the Magnetosheath
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 The magnetosheath (MSH) plasma turbulence depends on the structure and properties of the bow shock (BS). Under quasi-parallel (Q||) and quasi-perpendicular (Q⊥) BS configurations the electromagnetic field and plasma quantities possess quite distinct ...

Current sheets from Ulysses observation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2011 Current sheet is a significant source of solar wind MHD turbulence intermittency. It has long been recognized that these structures can arise from non-linear interactions of MHD turbulence.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 This paper reviews the properties of the magnetic and plasma structure of the solar wind in the inertial range of spatial scales (500–5 × 106 km), corresponding to spacecraft timescales from 1 s to a few hr.

Relation between current sheets and vortex sheets in stationary incompressible MHD [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 Magnetohydrodynamic configurations with strong localized current concentrations and vortices play an important role in the dissipation of energy in space and astrophysical plasma. Within this work we investigate the relation between current sheets and

Formation of current density profile in tilted current sheets [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 We investigate Cluster observations of strongly tilted sheets (flapping events) in the magnetotail. In accordance with the simple model of slip deformation (vertical differential displacement of neighboring flux tubes), the Jy current density ...

Dynamics of thin current sheets: Cluster observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 The paper tries to sort out the specific signatures of the Near Earth Neutral Line (NENL) and the Current Disruption (CD) models, and looks for these signatures in Cluster data from two events.
