Electromagnetic waves and electron anisotropies downstream of supercritical interplanetary shocks [PDF]

, 2012
We present waveform observations of electromagnetic lower hybrid and whistler waves with fci ≪ f  1.01. Thus, the whistler mode waves appear to be driven by a heat flux instability and cause perpendicular heating of the halo electrons.

Surface‐Driven Protocell Formation in Geologically Relevant Early Earth Environment

ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.
Illustration of a prebiotic early‐Earth environment showing cell‐like protocells (blue spheres) and other complex organic molecules (pink and green spheres) distributed across terrestrial surfaces and within subsurface niches. Volcanic landscapes and mineral‐rich substrates provide diverse geochemical settings for the assembly and evolution of ...

The Evolution of a Polar Cap Patch Into a Blob in the Nightside Ionosphere: Direct Observations of Multiple Blob Formation Mechanisms Acting Simultaneously on the Same Plasma

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract A polar cap patch was observed to exit the polar cap to become a blob as it entered the auroral oval on the nightside of the Earth under moderately quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp = 3−). Auroral particle precipitation led to an increase in the electron density of the blob.

Electron Heating in 2D Particle-in-cell Simulations of Quasi-perpendicular Low-beta Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
We measure the thermal electron energization in 1D and 2D particle-in-cell simulations of quasi-perpendicular, low-beta ( β _p = 0.25) collisionless ion–electron shocks with mass ratio m _i / m _e = 200, fast Mach number ${{ \mathcal M }}_{\mathrm{ms}}=1$

Acceleration of an interplanetary shock through the magnetosheath: a global hybrid simulation

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
According to most observations and simulations, interplanetary shocks slow down when they propagate through the magnetosheath. In this article, we present results from a self-consistent global hybrid PIC simulation of an interplanetary shock which, by ...

Ion Energization and Acceleration Associated With Foreshock Bubbles: Results From a Hybrid‐Vlasov Simulation and MMS Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Foreshock Bubbles (FBs) are large‐scale transient structures found in Earth's foreshock region and are associated with foreshock‐discontinuity interaction. FBs play a significant role in accelerating and energizing plasma through various mechanisms.

Extending the Wave Telescope Technique to Larger Numbers of Spacecraft Obtaining Robust Spatial Power Spectra

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The wave telescope is an analysis technique for multi‐point spacecraft data that estimates power spectra in reciprocal position space (k $k$‐space). It has been used to reveal the spatial properties of waves and fluctuations in space plasmas. Originally designed as an analysis tool for 4 spacecraft constellations, new multi‐scale missions such

Energetics of Shock-triggered Supersubstorms (SML < −2500 nT)

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The solar wind energy input and dissipation in the magnetospheric–ionospheric systems of 17 supersubstorms (SSSs: SML < −2500 nT) triggered by interplanetary shocks during solar cycles 23 and 24 are studied in detail. The SSS events had durations ranging
