On the Transmission of Turbulence Across Interplanetary Shocks: Observations and Theory

open access: gold, 2023
Collisionless magnetohydrodynamic shocks are ubiquitous in solar wind and in other space plasmas. They serve as natural sites where charged particles can be accelerated to supra-thermal energies via various Fermi acceleration mechanisms. Upstream and downstream fluctuations play a key role in these processes because they can act as scatter centers ...

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Turbulence and Waves between a Current Sheet and an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection–Driven Shock

open access: goldThe Astrophysical Journal
We report on unusual magnetic wave activity seen in a region between the crossing of a current sheet and an interplanetary shock by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP).

On the interaction of interplanetary shocks and solar wind turbulence

open access: gold, 2021
<p>The propagation of collisionless shocks through the turbulent magnetized plasmas has been investigated for decades. The processes connected with the formation and propagation of Interplanetary (IP) shocks play a key role in the acceleration of particles and in the coupling to the Earth’s magnetosphere.

Evolution of the Interplanetary Turbulence and the Associated Turbulence Anisotropy in the Outer Heliosphere: VOYAGER 2 Observations

open access: goldThe Astrophysical Journal
We study the radial evolution of the inertial-range solar wind plasma turbulence and its anisotropy in the outer heliosphere. We use magnetic field ( B ) measurements from the Voyager 2 spacecraft for heliocentric distances R from 1 to 33 au.

Shock waves propagation in the turbulent interplanetary plasma [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

An Analytical Model of Turbulence in Parker Spiral Geometry and Associated Magnetic Field Line Lengths

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Understanding the magnetic connections from the Sun to interplanetary space is crucial for linking in situ particle observations with the solar source regions of the particles.

Lagrangian Stochastic Model for the Motions of Magnetic Footpoints on the Solar Wind Source Surface and the Path Lengths of Boundary-driven Interplanetary Magnetic Field Lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this work, we extend Leighton’s diffusion model describing the turbulent mixing of magnetic footpoints on the solar wind source surface. The present Lagrangian stochastic model is based on the spherical Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with drift that is ...

Relationship of Transport Coefficients with Statistical Quantities of Charged Particles

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In previous studies, a general spatial transport equation was derived from the Fokker–Planck equation. The latter equation contains an infinite number of spatial derivative terms T _n = κ _nz ∂ ^n F /∂ z ^n with n = 1, 2, 3, ⋯ .
