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 ...

Editorial to the Special Issue “Propagation of Coronal Mass Ejections”

Universe, 2023
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their associated shocks are one of the main drivers of heliosphere variability, causing both interplanetary and planetary perturbations [...]

Martian Magnetotail Neutral Sheet Asymmetry Driven by Heavy Planetary Pickup Ions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract In the induced magnetotail of Mars, the neutral sheet is an important channel for atmospheric ion escape, yet the role of heavy planetary pickup ions in shaping its geometry has been unclear. Using three‐dimensional hybrid simulations, we demonstrate that these ions induce a global neutral sheet asymmetry via mass loading.

Turbulence and Polytropic Changes across Interplanetary Shocks Observed by the Parker Solar Probe

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Interplanetary shocks play a critical role in solar wind dynamics, influencing the properties of turbulence and thermodynamic processes. In this study, we statistically analyze changes in turbulence characteristics and polytropic indices across 37 quasi ...

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.

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} $D=\max \left\{-Dst\right\}$ to the storm main‐phase maximum duskward interplanetary electric field E $E$.

Interpretation of Flat Energy Spectra Upstream of Fast Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Interplanetary shocks are large-scale heliospheric structures often caused by eruptive phenomena at the Sun, and represent one of the main sources of energetic particles.

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Initial Phase of Geomagnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using simultaneous magnetic field observations from 10 satellites and an automated detection algorithm, we identify broad regions of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave activity during the initial phases of geomagnetic storms between September 2015 and October 2019.

Acceleration Of ³He Nuclei At Interplanetary Shocks

, 2001
We have surveyed the 0.5-2.0 MeV nucleonˉ¹ ion composition of 56 interplanetary (IP) shocks observed with the Ultra - Low-Energy Isotope Spectrometer on board the Advanced Composition Explorer from 1997 October 1 through 2000 November 30.

MMS Observations of the Energetic Particles Within Kelvin‐Helmholtz Waves at the Boundary of the 10 May 2024 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.
