Inferring Rippled Shock Front Dispersion Parameters From Reflected Ion Population Clusters
Abstract Supercritical, collisionless shockwaves are known to exhibit nonstationarity, that is, time‐dependent structures even under steady upstream conditions, which can contribute to heating and particle acceleration. We examine the evolution of shock surface ripples (an example of nonstationary) by analyzing Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS ...

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

Dynamical Solar Wind Forecasting Using In Situ Solar Wind Speed Observations
Abstract Accurate prediction of the ambient solar wind at Earth is a key requirement for space‐weather forecasting but is limited by uncertainties in coronal boundary conditions and, to a lesser extent, heliospheric transport. We present a quantitative assessment of a solar wind forecast that uses near‐Earth in situ solar wind observations to estimate ...

Magnetic Discontinuities in the Inner Heliosphere: Do Intermediate Shocks Exist?
Magnetic discontinuities are fundamental structures in space and laboratory plasmas where the changes in magnetic and velocity fields are constrained by Rankine–Hugoniot relations.

Abstract Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are a significant space weather hazard to spacecraft. For Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) in future space missions, it is important to characterize the differential flux spectra of SEP events. In this paper, we present a machine learning model developed for reconstructing the differential flux spectrum from ...

Shock parameter calculations at weak interplanetary shock waves [PDF]
Abstract. A large set of interplanetary shock waves observed using the Ulysses spacecraft is analysed in order to determine their local parameters. For the first time a detailed analysis is extended to the thermodynamic properties of a large number of events. The intention is to relate the shock parameters to the requirements set by MHD shock theory. A

Energy Spectra of High Energy Helium An Extended and Improved Data Product From SOHO EPHIN
Abstract Context. The Electron Proton Helium INstrument (EPHIN) aboard the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is a particle telescope that measures energetic protons and Helium particles with kinetic energies above 4 MeV/nuc and electrons with kinetic energies above 150 KeV. Located at the Lagrangian point L1 of the Earth‐Sun system, it provides
