Low Density Drivers of Strong Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996
AbstractThe theory that most, if not all, interplanetary shocks are caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) faces serious problems in accounting for the strongest shocks. The difficulties include (i) a remarkable absence of very strong shocks during solar maximum 1980 when CMEs were prolific, (ii) unrealistic initial speeds near the Sun for impulsive ...

Influence of the Eccentric Geomagnetic Dipole on Longitude Variations of Compressional Upstream Wave Amplitudes in the Topside Ionosphere: Results From the MSS‐1A Satellite

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Based on 2‐year magnetic data from the Macau science satellite, we investigate the compressional Pc3‐4 pulsations (between 16 and 100 mHz) driven by upstream waves (UWs). Our results confirm larger UWs amplitudes in the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) longitudes, agreeing with previous missions.

Modification of the Power Spectral Density of Magnetic Field Fluctuations by Quasi-perpendicular Interplanetary Shocks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We investigate the role of interplanetary (IP) shocks in solar wind turbulence using observations of Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe, and Wind. Employing statistical analysis of quasi-perpendicular fast forward (FF) and fast reverse (FR) shocks, we ...

Quasi-steady solar wind dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Progress in understanding the large scale dynamics of quasisteady, corotating solar wind structure was reviewed. The nature of the solar wind at large heliocentric distances preliminary calculations from a 2-D MHD model are used to demonstrate ...

Computations on the interaction of an interplanetary shock with the Earth's magnetosphere

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 1977
We present the results of a one-dimensional computer simulation of the interaction between interplanetary shocks and the Earth's magnetosphere. The position of the bowshock as a function of solar wind velocity and interplanetary field direction is studied.

Magnetopause Boundary Layers in Low Mach CME‐Driven Storm Environment

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Magnetopause boundary layers (BLs) play an important role mediating plasma and energy exchange between the solar wind/magnetosheath and Earth's magnetosphere. Energy exchange across the magnetopause is enhanced during storms, yet little work has been done investigating BLs during storms.

Formation of H+ PUI Tails Downstream of Distant Interplanetary Shocks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
New Horizons’ Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument has observed interplanetary shocks from ∼20 to 60 au from the Sun. Different studies have analyzed the effects of these shocks on the solar wind ion (SWI) and interstellar pickup ion (PUI ...

Similarities and Differences between ICME-driven Shocks Observed by VEX (∼0.72 au) and WIND (∼1.0 au)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The features of interplanetary shocks driven by interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) observed by WIND (∼1.0 au) and Venus Express (VEX; ∼0.72 au) during the same period are statistically analyzed by comparing their similarities and differences ...

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Turbulence and Waves between a Current Sheet and an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection–Driven Shock

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report on unusual magnetic wave activity seen in a region between the crossing of a current sheet and an interplanetary shock by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP).
