Interaction of Interplanetary Shocks with the Moon

2020
<p>In this presentation, we use data from THEMIS-ARTEMIS spacecraft and electromagnetic hybrid (kinetic ions, fluid electrons) simulations to describe the nature of the interaction between interplanetary shocks and the Moon.

Voyager Observations of Interplanetary Shocks

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
Data from Voyager 2 are used to compile a shock catalogue covering the 27 years of Voyager 2 solar wind data through the end of 2004. This catalogue is used to investigate the characteristics of shocks as a function of distance out to 75 AU. The shock occurrence frequency decreases with distance.

Interplanetary Slow Shocks

1991
Ever since the identification of the first interplanetary shock wave from the Mariner 2 plasma and magnetic field measurements [7.38], shock research has received great attention in solar system plasma physics, and this has resulted in an outstanding collaboration between laboratory and space experimentalists, theorists, and specialists in numerical ...

Waves in Interplanetary Shocks: A Wind/WAVES Study

Physical Review Letters, 2007
We describe results from the first statistical study of waveform capture data during 67 interplanetary (IP) shocks with Mach numbers ranging from approximately 1-6. Most of the waveform captures and nearly 100% of the large amplitude waves were in the ramp region.

Mass-loading at interplanetary shocks

Physics of Fluids B: Plasma Physics, 1992
The interaction of the solar wind with the atmospheres of nonmagnetized and weakly magnetized bodies, such as found at comets and the planets Venus and Mars, is currently an area of great interest in space plasma physics. Photoionization of the atmospheric coma surrounding a comet or a weakly magnetized planet leads to ‘‘mass-loading’’ of the impinging

Plasma wave turbulence associated with an interplanetary shock

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1979
In this paper we give a brief summary of the interplanetary shocks detected and analyzed to date from the Helios 1 and 2 spacecraft and present a detailed analysis of the plasma wave turbulence associated with one particular shock, on March 30, 1976. This event was selected because a very clearly defined burst of plasma wave turbulence occurs at the ...

Evolution of interplanetary slow shocks

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1988
The possible existence of traveling forward slow shocks, their global geometry and their transition to forward fast shocks have been discussed in a recent paper. The decrease in the Alfven speed at increasing heliocentric distance causes the evolution of a forward slow shock into a forward fast shock.

Acceleration of electrons by interplanetary shocks

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1981
Although proton acceleration often is observed at interplanetary shocks, electron acceleration rarely has been reported. In contrast, many of the shocks identified so far by instruments on the ISEE 3 spacecraft show significant increases in the spin averaged electron flux at energies greater than 2 keV. At 2 keV, the spin averaged electron flux usually
