Magnetosheath cavities: case studies using Cluster observations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2009
This paper presents examples of magnetosheath cavities in Cluster spacecraft observations. The cavities are accompanied by high energy particles in the magnetosheath and characterized by depressed magnetic fields and densities.

Correlation length of magnetosheath fluctuations: Cluster statistics [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2008
Magnetosheath parameters are usually described by gasdynamic or magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models but these models cannot account for one of the most important sources of magnetosheath fluctuations – the foreshock.

Magnetosheath plasma flow model around Mercury [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2021
The magnetosheath is defined as the plasma region between the bow shock, where the super-magnetosonic solar wind plasma is decelerated and heated, and the outer boundary of the intrinsic planetary magnetic field, the so-called magnetopause.

The Earth's magnetosheath: Structures, waves and turbulence

地球与行星物理论评, 2022
When the solar wind encounters the blunt Earth's magnetosphere, a detached shock (i.e., the bow shock) forms at a distance about ten Earth radii from the Earth.

Magnetopause stand-off distance in dependence on the magnetosheath and solar wind parameters [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1998
A model of the magnetosheath structure proposed in a recent paper from the authors is extended to estimate the magnetopause stand-off distance from solar wind data.

Asymmetries in the Earth's dayside magnetosheath: results from global hybrid-Vlasov simulations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2020
Bounded by the bow shock and the magnetopause, the magnetosheath forms the interface between solar wind and magnetospheric plasmas and regulates solar wind–magnetosphere coupling.

Plasma and Magnetic Field Turbulence in the Earth’s Magnetosheath at Ion Scales

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Crossing the Earth’s bow shock is known to crucially affect solar wind plasma including changes in turbulent cascade. The present review summarizes results of more than 15 years of experimental exploration into magnetosheath turbulence.

Large-Scale Solar Wind Phenomena Affecting the Turbulent Cascade Evolution behind the Quasi-Perpendicular Bow Shock

Universe, 2022
The Earth’s magnetosphere is permanently influenced by the solar wind. When supersonic and superalfvenic plasma flow interacts with the magnetosphere, the magnetosheath region is formed, which is filled with shocked turbulent plasma.

Scalar-potential mapping of the steady-state magnetosheath model [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
The steady-state magnetosheath model has various applications for studying the plasma and magnetic field profile around the planetary magnetospheres.

South-north asymmetry of proton density distribution in the Martian magnetosheath

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020
We perform a statistical analysis of data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) project on the global distribution of protons in the Martian magnetosheath.
