Connection Between Foreshock Structures and the Generation of Magnetosheath Jets: Vlasiator Results
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Earth’s magnetosheath consists of shocked solar wind plasma that has been compressed and slowed down at the Earth’s bow shock. Magnetosheath jets are pulses of enhanced dynamic pressure in the magnetosheath. Jets have been observed by numerous spacecraft

First identification of mirror mode waves in Venus' magnetosheath?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 In this paper first time observations of mirror mode like structures in Venus' magnetosheath are presented. Using magnetometer data from the Venus Express spacecraft it is shown that in two regions in the Venusian magnetosheath strong compressional waves

Honeycomb-Like Magnetosheath Structure Formed by Jets: Three-Dimensional Global Hybrid Simulations
Geophysical Research LettersMagnetosheath jets with enhanced dynamic pressure are common in the Earth's magnetosheath. They can impact the magnetopause, causing deformation of the magnetopause. Here we investigate the 3‐D structure of magnetosheath jets using a realistic‐scale, 3‐D

On the Kinetic Energy Input of Magnetosheath Jets Into the Magnetosheath
Geophysical Research LettersMagnetosheath jets, plasma structures with enhanced dynamic pressure, are frequently observed in the terrestrial magnetosheath. However, their mass, momentum, and energy content are still unknown. We utilize Amitis, a 3D hybrid‐kinetic plasma simulation,

THEMIS Observations of Particle Acceleration by a Magnetosheath Jet-Driven Bow Wave
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Localized magnetosheath jets with high dynamic pressure are frequently observed downstream of Earth's bow shock. When such a fast magnetosheath jet compresses the ambient magnetosheath plasma, an earthward compressional bow wave could form.

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 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.

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.
