Drift acceleration at interplanetary shocks [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1994 AbstractScatter-free acceleration of energetic particles by quasi-perpendicular interplanetary shocks is investigated. A brief review is given on the predictions of the gradient drift acceleration model concerning the energy, time, and angular dependence of the particle flux caused by a single shock encounter interaction.

In situ local shock speed and transit shock speed [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 A useful index for estimating the transit speeds was derived by analyzing interplanetary shock observations. This index is the ratio of the in situ local shock speed and the transit speed; it is 0.6–0.9 for most observed shocks.

Signatures of interplanetary transients behind shocks and their associated near-surface solar activity [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 Interplanetary transients with particular signatures different from the normal solar wind have been observed behind interplanetary shocks and also without shocks.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE INTERPLANETARY SHOCKS BY SHOCK DRIVERS [PDF]
Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2002 From the data of solar wind observation by ACE spacecraft orbiting the Earth-Sun Lagrangian point, we selected 48 forward interplanetary shocks(IPSs) occurred in 2000, maximum solar activity period. Examining the profiles of solar wind parameters, the IPSs are classified by their shock drivers.

Scattering of Superthermal Ions at Shocks: Dependence on Energy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Diffusive shock acceleration requires the production of backstreaming superthermal ions (injection) as a first step. Such ions can be generated in the process of scattering of ions in the superthermal tail off the shock front. Knowledge of the scattering

Interaction of a strong interplanetary shock with the termination shock [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1999 The 1991 global merged interaction region (GMIR) shock is a strong forward shock observed from Voyager 2 on day 146 of 1991 at 34.6 AU. As the GMIR shock propagated out‐ward in the distant heliosphere, it eventually encounters the termination shock. We study the interaction of the GMIR shock with the termination shock taking into account the influence ...

Compression of the Earth's magnetotail by interplanetary shocks directly drives transient magnetic flux closure [PDF]
, 2006 peer reviewedWe use a novel method to evaluate the global opening and closure of magnetic flux in the terrestrial system, and to analyse two interplanetary shock passages that occurred during magnetically quiet periods.

Shock Heating of Incident Thermal and Superthermal Populations of Different Ion Species
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Using ion tracing in a model shock front we study heating of thermal (Maxwellian) and superthermal (Vasyliunas–Siscoe) populations of protons, singly charged helium, and alpha particles. It is found that heating of thermal and superthermal populations is
