On the Formation of Super-Alfvénic Flows Downstream of Collisionless Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
Super-Alfvénic jets, with kinetic energy densities significantly exceeding that of the solar wind, are commonly generated downstream of Earth's bow shock under both high- and low-beta plasma conditions. In this study, we present theoretical evidence that

Generation and evolution of interplanetary slow shocks [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1996
It is well known that most MHD shocks observed within 1 AU are MHD fast shocks. Only a very limited number of MHD slow shocks are observed within 1 AU.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

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 ...

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 ...

A Machine Learning‐Based Model of Three‐Dimensional Ion Fluxes in the High‐Altitude Earth's Northern Cusp

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause is the primary pathway for transferring mass, momentum, and energy from the solar wind into the terrestrial magnetosphere. Previous studies have shown that the spatiotemporal dynamics of dayside magnetic reconnection can be inferred remotely from properties of Earth's cusps, specifically their ...

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 [...]

Ionospheric Scintillation Induced by Hot Flow Anomalies via Particle Precipitation

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Ionospheric scintillation disrupts trans‐ionospheric radio signals and represents significant challenges for critical communication and navigation systems. Here we document that hot flow anomalies (HFAs), transient disturbances formed near Earth's bow shock, can contribute to scintillation near the cusp.

MHD waves at the pre-front of interplanetary shocks on September 6 and 7, 2017

Solar-Terrestrial Physics
We analyze strong space weather disturbances during first ten days of September 2017, using the geomagnetic Dst index, parameters of normals to interplanetary shock fronts, direct measurements of interplanetary magnetic field, solar wind, and cosmic ray ...

Equatorial F‐Region Responses to the Main Phase of the 10 May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm Over the South American Sector: Observations and Model Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract This study examines the equatorial ionospheric response over the South American sector during the onset of the extreme 2024 Mother's Day geomagnetic storm, which began at ∼17 UT on 10 May and reached the G5 level. Pronounced disturbances in ionospheric electrodynamics were observed under both daytime and nighttime conditions. Variations in the
