On the role of interplanetary shocks in accelerating MeV electrons

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. One of the sources of solar energetic particle (SEP) events is shocks that are driven by fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They can accelerate SEPs up to relativistic energies and are attributed to the largest SEP events. New studies suggest that CME-driven shocks can potentially accelerate electrons to MeV energies in the vicinity of the ...

Mercury’s Bow Shock and Magnetopause Variations According to MESSENGER Data

Universe
Using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft magnetometer that describes the magnetopause and the bow shock crossing points of the Mercury’s magnetosphere, we have calculated the parameters of the paraboloids of revolution approximating the obtained points ...

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Electrostatic Plasma Wave Excitations at the Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Abstract Over the last few decades, different types of plasma waves (e.g., the ion acoustic waves (IAWs), electrostatic solitary waves, upper/lower hybrid waves, and Langmuir waves) have been observed in the upstream, downstream, and ramp regions of the collisionless interplanetary (IP) shocks.

Numerical Investigations of Low‐Latitude Ground Magnetic Fields Due To Cavity Mode Oscillations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Pi2 oscillations are known to be associated with cavity mode oscillations (CMOs) in the inner magnetosphere at low latitudes. CMOs can also be excited by interplanetary shocks on the dayside. We present results from a global linear MHD wave model in spherical coordinates that allows us to analyze these waves at equatorial latitudes.

On the Effects of the Solar Wind Structure in the Global Distribution of dBH/dt ${\text{dB}}_{H}/\text{dt}$ Spikes During Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Variations in the solar wind, particularly those associated with interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and high‐speed streams (HSSs), drive geomagnetic disturbances that produce rapid changes in the ground magnetic field. These variations, commonly quantified by the time derivative of the horizontal magnetic field dBH/dt $\left({\text ...

Shock waves propagation in the turbulent interplanetary plasma [PDF]

Advances in Space Research, 1996
AbstractEffect of turbulence on interplanetary shock waves propagation is considered. It is shown that background turbulence results in the additional shock wave deceleration which may be comparable with the deceleration due to plasma sweeping. The turbulent deceleration is connected with the energy losses due to the strong turbulence amplification ...

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 ...

Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Generated by the June 22nd 2015 Interplanetary Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract On 22 June 2015, the near Earth interplanetary space was perturbed by a series of high‐speed streamers and interplanetary coronal mass ejections associated with an active region and two low‐latitude coronal holes. The interaction of these disturbances gave rise to the complex solar wind structure observed at 1 au.

Electron dropout echoes induced by interplanetary shock: Van Allen Probes observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
On 23 November 2012, a sudden dropout of the relativistic electron flux was observed after an interplanetary shock arrival. The dropout peaks at ∼1 MeV and more than 80% of the electrons disappeared from the drift shell.
