MHD waves at the pre-front of interplanetary shocks on September 6 and 7, 2017

Solar-Terrestrial Physics
We analyze strong space weather disturbances during first ten days of September 2017, using the geomagnetic Dst index, parameters of normals to interplanetary shock fronts, direct measurements of interplanetary magnetic field, solar wind, and cosmic ray ...

Interpretation of Flat Energy Spectra Upstream of Fast Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Interplanetary shocks are large-scale heliospheric structures often caused by eruptive phenomena at the Sun, and represent one of the main sources of energetic particles.

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} $D=\max \left\{-Dst\right\}$ to the storm main‐phase maximum duskward interplanetary electric field E $E$.

Shock waves propagation in the turbulent interplanetary plasma [PDF]

Advances in Space Research, 1996
AbstractEffect of turbulence on interplanetary shock waves propagation is considered. It is shown that background turbulence results in the additional shock wave deceleration which may be comparable with the deceleration due to plasma sweeping. The turbulent deceleration is connected with the energy losses due to the strong turbulence amplification ...

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Initial Phase of Geomagnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using simultaneous magnetic field observations from 10 satellites and an automated detection algorithm, we identify broad regions of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave activity during the initial phases of geomagnetic storms between September 2015 and October 2019.

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 ...

MMS Observations of the Energetic Particles Within Kelvin‐Helmholtz Waves at the Boundary of the 10 May 2024 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.

Impact angle control of interplanetary shock geoeffectiveness [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2014
AbstractWe use Open Geospace General Circulation Model global MHD simulations to study the nightside magnetospheric, magnetotail, and ionospheric responses to interplanetary (IP) fast forward shocks. Three cases are presented in this study: two inclined oblique shocks, hereafter IOS‐1 and IOS‐2, where the latter has a Mach number twice stronger than ...

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 ${{ \mathcal M }}_{\mathrm{ms}}=1$

Soft Proton Environment Modeling for SMILE Using XGBoost and Solar Cycle–Informed Synthetic Data Sets

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Soft proton contamination presents a persistent threat to the performance of space‐based X‐ray observatories such as ESA's upcoming Solar‐wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE). This study develops a machine‐learning framework for modeling soft proton fluxes in the 92.2–159.7 keV range, tailored to SMILE's elliptical, highly ...
