Numerical Simulations of Particle Acceleration at Interplanetary Quasi-perpendicular Shocks [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract Using test particle simulations we study particle acceleration at highly perpendicular ( ) shocks under conditions of modeling magnetic turbulence. We adopt a backward-in-time method to solve the Newton–Lorentz equation using the observed shock parameters for quasi ...

Irregular Proton Injection to High Energies at Interplanetary Shocks
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 How thermal particles are accelerated to suprathermal energies is an unsolved issue, crucial for many astrophysical systems. We report novel observations of irregular, dispersive enhancements of the suprathermal particle population upstream of a high ...

Magnetospheric response to solar wind forcing: ultra-low-frequency wave–particle interaction perspective [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2022 Solar wind forcing, e.g., interplanetary shock and/or solar wind dynamic pressure pulses impacting Earth's magnetosphere, manifests many fundamental important space physics phenomena, including producing electromagnetic waves, plasma heating, and ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are sporadically ejected from the Sun during flares and coronal mass ejections. They are of major astrophysical interest, because the proximity of the Sun allows for detailed multi-messenger studies.

The physics of space weather/solar-terrestrial physics (STP): what we know now and what the current and future challenges are [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2020 Major geomagnetic storms are caused by unusually intense solar wind southward magnetic fields that impinge upon the Earth's magnetosphere (Dungey, 1961). How can we predict the occurrence of future interplanetary events?

Nonlinear Interaction of Low-frequency Alfvén Waves and Ions
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The interaction between Alfvén waves and particles is a critical phenomenon in space and laboratory plasmas, and it has been observed that low-frequency Alfvén waves can accelerate and heat ions through subharmonic resonant interactions.
