Extreme geomagnetic disturbances due to shocks within CMEs [PDF]

, 2015
We report on features of solar wind-magnetosphere coupling elicited by shocks propagating through coronal mass ejections (CMEs) by analyzing the intense geomagnetic storm of 6 August 1998.

Particle Acceleration at Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008
The acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions as well as solar wind species has been observed at a multitude of interplanetary (IP) shocks by different spacecraft. This paper expands upon previous work modeling the phase space distributions of accelerated ions associated with the shock event encountered on day 292 of 1991 by the Ulysses mission at 4.5 ...

Physical Characteristics of Coronal Region Driving Out the Interplanetary Shock [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2008
Using the solar wind data of 2000 observed by ACE, We classified the interplanetary shock on basis of shock driver. We examined the physical properties of shock drivers such as the ratio of charge states(O7/O6) and thermal index(I_{th}).

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.

Acceleration of Suprathermal protons near an Interplanetary Shock

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. Interplanetary collisionless shocks are known to be sources of energetic charged particles up to hundreds of MeV. However, the underlying acceleration mechanisms are still under debate.Aims. We determine the properties of suprathermal protons accelerated by the interplanetary shock on 2021 November 3 with the unprecedented ...

Variations of Heavy Ions in Different Types of Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
Heavy ions upstream and downstream of interplanetary shocks are not only subject to acceleration, heating, and spatiotemporal modulation during their propagation in interplanetary space, but they can also, in turn, influence the dynamical properties of ...

Plasmaspheric High‐Frequency Whistlers as a Candidate Cause of Shock Aurora at Earth

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Auroral brightening driven by interplanetary shocks on Earth's closed magnetic field lines is commonly attributed to the 0.1–10 keV electron precipitations by electron cyclotron harmonic waves and whistler‐mode chorus waves in the low‐density region.

On the role of interplanetary shocks in accelerating MeV electrons

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. One of the sources of solar energetic particle (SEP) events is shocks that are driven by fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They can accelerate SEPs up to relativistic energies and are attributed to the largest SEP events. New studies suggest that CME-driven shocks can potentially accelerate electrons to MeV energies in the vicinity of the ...

Anhydrous minerals in asteroid Bennu: Evidence for well‐preserved primordial components

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Aqueously altered carbonaceous astromaterials are dominated by secondary minerals, but a minor fraction of primary, anhydrous silicates and oxides escape alteration, offering insight into the original composition of asteroid parent bodies. We report the mineralogy, petrology, mineral chemistry, and oxygen isotopes of anhydrous minerals—50 ...

Characterization of the Transmission and Generation of Turbulence at Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
We study the transmission and characteristics of turbulent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluctuations from upstream to downstream regions of interplanetary (IP) shocks using the linear mode decomposition (LMD) technique of G. P. Zank et al.
