Characterization of the Transmission and Generation of Turbulence at Interplanetary Shocks

open access: yesThe 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.

Electron heating at interplanetary shocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Data for 41 forward interplanetary shocks show that the ratio of downstream to upstream electron temperatures. T sub e (d/u) is variable in the range between 1.0 (isothermal) and 3.0.

Shock metamorphic effects in Itokawa phosphates: A comparison with megaregolith‐derived meteorites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Returned regolith samples from the asteroid Itokawa provide a unique opportunity to compare shock metamorphic effects in unconsolidated regolith materials with those preserved in lithified meteorites, that is, megaregolith. We analyzed four Itokawa particles (Ueda—RA‐QD02‐0519, Narahara—RA‐QD02‐0573, Domon—RA‐QD02‐0588, Ishiuchi—RX‐MD03‐0212 ...

Characteristics of Solar Wind Density Depletions During Solar Cycles 23 and 24 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017
Solar wind density depletions are phenomena that solar wind density is rapidly decreased and keep the state. They are generally believed to be caused by the interplanetary (IP) shocks.

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

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

Velocity profiles of interplanetary shocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
The type 2 radio burst was identified as a shock propagating through solar corona. Radio emission from shocks travelling through the interplanetary (IP) medium was observed.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Diffusion Coefficients of WIND/STICS Protons from Diffusive Shock Acceleration with Finite Escape Boundaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Heliospheric suprathermal ions include inner-source pickup ions, cometary ions, solar energetic particles, and suprathermal tail particles. Despite exhaustive observation and formalisms, their role in interplanetary shock acceleration has yet to be ...

Efficiency of particle acceleration at interplanetary shocks: Statistical study of STEREO observations

open access: yes, 2016
Context. Among others, shocks are known to be accelerators of energetic charged particles. However, many questions regarding the acceleration efficiency and the required conditions are not fully understood. In particular, the acceleration of electrons by

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

open access: yesThe 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
