Magnetic Discontinuities in the Inner Heliosphere: Do Intermediate Shocks Exist?

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Magnetic discontinuities are fundamental structures in space and laboratory plasmas where the changes in magnetic and velocity fields are constrained by Rankine–Hugoniot relations.

Collisionless Shocks: Contemporary State After Three Quarters of a Century of Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The collisionless shock research started in the late 1950s. Since then, plenty of data have been accumulated due to the large number of missions in the heliosphere, providing in situ measurements of the fields and particles. The quality of these measurements has vastly improved, especially in the last two decades.

Forecasting Geomagnetically Induced Currents From Solar Wind and Geoelectric Field Data Using Deep Learning: Application in Fujian, China

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We developed a multi‐module convolutional neural network combined with a multi‐head attention mechanism (MM‐CNN‐MHA) to forecast geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) at the Huangmeishan (HMS) 220‐kV substation in Fujian Province, China.

Electron Heating in 2D Particle-in-cell Simulations of Quasi-perpendicular Low-beta Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
We measure the thermal electron energization in 1D and 2D particle-in-cell simulations of quasi-perpendicular, low-beta ( β _p = 0.25) collisionless ion–electron shocks with mass ratio m _i / m _e = 200, fast Mach number ${{ \mathcal M }}_{\mathrm{ms}}=1$

Acceleration of an interplanetary shock through the magnetosheath: a global hybrid simulation

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
According to most observations and simulations, interplanetary shocks slow down when they propagate through the magnetosheath. In this article, we present results from a self-consistent global hybrid PIC simulation of an interplanetary shock which, by ...

Interplanetary Shocks between 0.3 and 1.0 au: Helios 1 and 2 Observations

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Helios 1 (H1) and Helios 2 (H2) spacecraft measured the solar winds at a distance between ∼0.3 and 1.0 au from the Sun. With increasing heliocentric distance ( r _h ), the plasma speed is found to increase at ∼34–40 km s ^−1 au ^−1 and the density ...

Impact angle control of interplanetary shock geoeffectiveness [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2014
AbstractWe use Open Geospace General Circulation Model global MHD simulations to study the nightside magnetospheric, magnetotail, and ionospheric responses to interplanetary (IP) fast forward shocks. Three cases are presented in this study: two inclined oblique shocks, hereafter IOS‐1 and IOS‐2, where the latter has a Mach number twice stronger than ...

Major Space Weather Risks Identified via Coupled Physics‐Engineering‐Economic Modeling

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract Space weather poses an important but under‐quantified threat to society. While severe geomagnetic storms are recognized as potential global catastrophes, their socio‐economic impacts remain poorly quantified. We present a novel physics‐engineering‐economic framework that links geophysical drivers to power grid geoelectric fields, transformer ...
