Model Predictions of Magnetosheath Conditions [PDF]

, 2013
The magnetosheath and its two boundaries - the bow shock and the magnetopause - interface the magnetosphere with the solar wind. This interface specifies the upstream conditions for magnetospheric models. Major progress has been made in the last few years in specifying the magnetosheath conditions. The classical Spreiter magnetosheath model is modified

Spatial distribution of plasma density and magnetic field amplitude in the dayside magnetosheath as a function of the IMF orientation

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The properties of the magnetosheath are of pivotal importance in determining the coupling between the magnetosphere and interplanetary medium. In particular, the magnetic flux pileup and plasma depletion layer (PDL) modify the boundary conditions of ...

Thick escaping magnetospheric ion layer in magnetopause reconnection with MMS observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
The structure of asymmetric magnetopause reconnection is explored with multiple point and high‐time‐resolution ion velocity distribution observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission.

Kinetic evidence of magnetic reconnection due to Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
The Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) instability at the Earth's magnetopause is predominantly excited during northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Magnetic reconnection due to KH waves has been suggested as one of the mechanisms to transfer solar wind ...

A case study of the plasma in the magneto-sheath using the numerical magnetosheath-magnetosphere model and THEMIS measure-ments

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
This paper presents a case study of the plasma parameters in the magnetosheath, based on THEMIS measurements. As a theoretical tool we apply the self-consistent magnetosheath-magnetosphere model.

Observations of energetic particle escape at the magnetopause: Early results from the MMS Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EIS)

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Energetic (greater than tens of keV) magnetospheric particle escape into the magnetosheath occurs commonly, irrespective of conditions that engender reconnection and boundary‐normal magnetic fields.

Magnetic Field and Plasma Asymmetries Between the Martian Quasi‐Perpendicular and Quasi‐Parallel Magnetosheaths

Geophysical Research Letters
The Martian magnetosheath acts as a conduit for mass and energy transfer between the upstream solar wind and its induced magnetosphere. However, our understanding of its global properties remains limited. Using 9 years of data from NASA's Mars Atmosphere
