Relaxation of the turbulent magnetosheath

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
ABSTRACTIn turbulence, non-linear terms drive energy transfer from large-scale eddies into small scales through the so-called energy cascade. Turbulence often relaxes toward states that minimize energy; typically these states are considered globally.

On the phenomenology of magnetosheath jets with insight from theory, modelling, numerical simulations and observations by Cluster spacecraft

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
Introduction: During recent years magnetosheath plasma structures called “jets” are identified in spacecraft data as localized regions in the magnetosheath where the dynamic pressure is enhanced compared to the background.

The average magnetic field draping and consistent plasma properties of the Venus magnetotail [PDF]

, 1986
A new technique has been developed to determine the average structure of the Venus magnetotail (in the range from −8 Rv to −12 Rv) from the Pioneer Venus magnetometer observations.

Kinetic signatures of the region surrounding the X-line in asymmetric (magnetopause) reconnection [PDF]

, 2016
Kinetic particle-in-cell simulations are used to identify signatures of the electron diffusion region (EDR) and its surroundings during asymmetric magnetic reconnection.

Kinetic‐Scale Turbulence in the Venusian Magnetosheath [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
AbstractWhile not specifically designed as a planetary mission, NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission uses a series of Venus gravity assists (VGAs) in order to reduce its perihelion distance. These orbital maneuvers provide the opportunity for direct measurements of the Venus plasma environment at high cadence.

Solar wind reconstruction from magnetosheath data using an adjoint approach [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2015
We present a new method to reconstruct solar wind conditions from spacecraft data taken during magnetosheath passages, which can be used to support, e.g., magnetospheric models.

A model of the magnetosheath magnetic field during magnetic clouds [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2014
Magnetic clouds (MCs) are huge interplanetary structures which originate from the Sun and have a paramount importance in driving magnetospheric storms. Before reaching the magnetosphere, MCs interact with the Earth's bow shock.

Electron scale structures and magnetic reconnection signatures in the turbulent magnetosheath [PDF]

, 2016
Collisionless space plasma turbulence can generate reconnecting thin current sheets as suggested by recent results of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations.

Jets in Planetary Magnetosheath

, 2023
Abstract The study of jets in the Earth's magnetosheath has been a subject of extensive investigation for over a decade due to their profound impact on the geomagnetic environment and their close connection with shock dynamics. While the variability of the solar wind and its interaction with Earth's magnetosphere provide valuable insights into ...

On the Magnetic Field Configuration of the Magnetosheath

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013
The magnetosheath is the region where the shocked solar wind interacts directly with the magnetosphere. Here we examine the magnetic field throughout the equatorial magnetosheath as a function of the solar wind IMF direction using observational data sets
