Structure of the Turbulent Interplanetary Magnetic Field [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
We show that two widely used but apparently different models of the turbulent interplanetary magnetic field are closely related. One of these is the so-called quasi-static turbulence model, in which interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations are generated at a source surface near the Sun by random transverse plasma motions (such as supergranulation at ...

Kinematic models of the interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2019
Current knowledge on the description of the interplanetary magnetic field is reviewed with an emphasis on the kinematic approach as well as the analytic expression.

Cosmic ray fluctuations and MHD waves in the solar wind

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2023
During large-scale solar wind disturbances, variations in galactic cosmic rays with periods from several minutes to 2–3 hours, which are called cosmic ray fluctuations in the scientific literature, often occur.

Change of Spectral Properties of Magnetic Field Fluctuations across Different Types of Interplanetary Shocks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The interaction between interplanetary (IP) shocks and the solar wind has been studied in the past for the understanding of energy dissipation mechanisms within collisionless plasmas.

Nature, Generation, and Dissipation of Alfvénic Kinks/Switchbacks Observed by Parker Solar Probe and WIND

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The discovery of very prominent magnetic kinks/switchbacks in the solar wind within 0.3 au has become a scientific highlight of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission. This discovery points at the promising impact of small-scale solar activity on the inner

von Karman Correlation Similarity of the Turbulent Interplanetary Magnetic Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021
Abstract A major development underlying much of hydrodynamic turbulence theory is the similarity decay hypothesis due to von Karman and Howarth here extended empirically to magnetic field fluctuations in the solar wind. In similarity decay the second-order correlation experiences a continuous transformation based on a universal ...

Energy Conversion through a Fluctuation–Dissipation Relation at Kinetic Scales in the Earth’s Magnetosheath

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Low-frequency fluctuations in the interplanetary medium represent a turbulent environment where universal scaling behavior, generated by an energy cascade, has been investigated.

Interpretation of Flat Energy Spectra Upstream of Fast Interplanetary Shocks

open access: yesThe 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.
