Shock Heating of Incident Thermal and Superthermal Populations of Different Ion Species
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Using ion tracing in a model shock front we study heating of thermal (Maxwellian) and superthermal (Vasyliunas–Siscoe) populations of protons, singly charged helium, and alpha particles. It is found that heating of thermal and superthermal populations is

Sources of interplanetary shocks [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 1995 Abstract The sources of interplanetary shocks are reviewed from the standpoint of today's knowledge. Recent progress from both new and accumulated observations and models indicates that contributions from the two major sources of the shocks: CMEs and stream interactions, have distinctive radial, latitudinal and temporal dependencies.

Formation of a strong southward IMF near the solar maximum of cycle 23 [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2004 We analyzed observations of the solar activities and the solar wind parameters associated with large geomagnetic storms near the maximum of solar cycle 23.

Fast damping of ultralow frequency waves excited by interplanetary shocks in the magnetosphere [PDF]
, 2015 Analysis of Cluster spacecraft data shows that intense ultralow frequency (ULF) waves in the inner magnetosphere can be excited by the impact of interplanetary shocks and solar wind dynamic pressure variations. The observations reveal that such waves can

Properties of Interplanetary Fast Shocks Close to the Martian Environment
, 2021 International audienceMagnetic field and plasma measurements from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN mission in orbit around Mars are analyzed for interplanetary fast shock properties and drivers from 2014 October to 2018 November.

Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ) Response to Interplanetary (IP) Shocks
, 2023 Interplanetary (IP) shocks are known to cause significant modifications in Earth's magnetospheric and ionospheric current systems. The sudden enhancement of solar wind dynamic pressure (PDyn) associated with IP shocks could induce convection electric ...

What causes the variations of the peak intensity of CIR accelerated energetic ion fluxes? [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 The variation of the peak intensity of energetic ions accelerated at CIR related shocks in the interplanetary medium as observed by instruments on board of ULYSSES during its pass towards the south polar region and from the north polar region back to ...

Interplanetary Signatures during the 1972 Early August Solar Storms
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In 1972, early August, a series of interplanetary shocks were observed in the heliosphere from 0.8 to 2.2 au. These shocks were attributed to a series of brilliant flares and plasma clouds since at that time coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their ...

Reflected ions at interplanetary shocks [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2010 This paper shows that the shock dissipation mechanism changes profoundly from the inner to outer heliosphere and that pickup ions are responsible for shock dissipation beyond 35 AU. We make the first study of reflected ions in ICME sheaths downstream of interplanetary shocks observed by Voyager 2 from 1–80 AU.
