Turbulent Heating of Solar Wind Plasma Downstream of Magnetohydrodynamic Shocks
The Astrophysical JournalInterplanetary (IP) shocks are believed to play a significant role in both amplifying the background level of turbulent fluctuations and in heating the bulk solar wind (SW). This study investigates the thermodynamic properties downstream of IP shocks. We

The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe 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 ...

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

Formation of H+ PUI Tails Downstream of Distant Interplanetary Shocks
The Astrophysical JournalNew 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 ...

Low Density Drivers of Strong Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]
International 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 ...

Earthbound Interplanetary shocks unconnected with coronal mass ejections
, 2005 An associated study by Howard and Tappin (2005) identified 7 Earthbound forward shocks (of which 3 were geoeffective) which were not connected with any detectable coronal mass ejection activity along the Sun-Earth line.

The Astrophysical JournalThe 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 ...

Evidence for superdiffusive shock acceleration at interplanetary shock waves
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 Recent analysis of time profiles of energetic particles accelerated at interplanetary shocks has shown evidence for superdiffusive transport upstream of the shock fronts, namely for a transport characterized by a particle mean square displacement that grows faster than linearly in time.

INTERPLANETARY SHOCKS LACKING TYPE II RADIO BURSTS
, 2010 International audienceWe report on the radio-emission characteristics of 222 interplanetary (IP) shocks detected by spacecraft at Sun-Earth L1 during solar cycle 23 (1996 to 2006, inclusive).
