Signatures of interplanetary transients behind shocks and their associated near-surface solar activity [PDF]
Interplanetary transients with particular signatures different from the normal solar wind have been observed behind interplanetary shocks and also without shocks.

Observations of ionospheric flows and particle precipitation following a Sudden Commencement [PDF]
On May 4, 1998, at 0227 UT an interplanetary shock crossed the WIND spacecraft, and half an hour later a Sudden Commencement occurred. Coinciding with the Sudden Commencement a rapid intensification of the flux of particle precipitation into the ...

Quantifying the Agyrotropy of Proton and Electron Heating in Turbulent Plasmas
An important aspect of energy dissipation in weakly collisional plasmas is that of energy partitioning between different species (e.g., protons and electrons) and between different energy channels.

From the Sun’s atmosphere to the Earth’s atmosphere: an overview of scientific models available for space weather developments [PDF]
Space weather aims at setting operational numerical tools in order to nowcast, forecast and quantify the solar activity events, the magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere responses and the consequences on our technological societies.

Space-based tests of gravity with laser ranging [PDF]
Existing capabilities in laser ranging, optical interferometry and metrology, in combination with precision frequency standards, atom-based quantum sensors, and drag-free technologies, are critical for the space-based tests of fundamental physics; as a ...

Betatron Acceleration of Suprathermal Electrons within a Small-scale Flux Rope in the Solar Wind
A growing body of evidence from observations, theories, and simulations indicates that particles can be effectively accelerated in solar wind regions filled with dynamic small-scale flux ropes (FRs).

Modelling interplanetary CMEs using magnetohydrodynamic simulations [PDF]
The dynamics of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) are discussed from the viewpoint of numerical modelling. Hydrodynamic models are shown to give a good zero-order picture of the plasma properties of ICMEs, but they cannot model the ...

Observations of interplanetary scintillation during the 1998 Whole Sun Month: a comparison between EISCAT, ORT and Nagoya data [PDF]
Observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS) allow accurate solar wind velocity measurements to be made at all heliographic latitudes and at a range of distances from the Sun.

On the probability distribution function of small scale interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations [PDF]
In spite of a large number of papers dedicated to study MHD turbulence in the solar wind there are still some simple questions which have never been sufficiently addressed like: a)do we really know how the magnetic field vector orientation fluctuates in ...
