The Importance of Heat Flux in Low-Mach-number, Quasi-parallel Collisionless Shocks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Collisionless plasma shocks are a common feature of many space and astrophysical systems. They are sources of high-energy particles and nonthermal emission, channeling as much as 20% of the shock’s energy into nonthermal particles.

Solar Wind–Magnetosphere–Ionosphere Coupling Under Extreme External Driving: Characteristics of Dayside Ground Magnetic Disturbances

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The objective of the present study is to investigate solar wind‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling (SWMIC) under intense external driving in terms of dayside ground magnetic disturbances. Dayside magnetic reconnection drives a region‐1 sense current system, the SWMIC current system.

On Electron Acceleration at Planetary Foreshocks [PDF]

open access: yes
Shock waves, where supersonic and subsonic plasma flows meet, are primiary sites for charged particle acceleration in various space plasma environments, including astrophysical and planetary bow shocks.

Physics of Collisionless Shocks: Space Plasma Shock Waves

open access: yes, 2013
The present book provides a contemporary systematic treatment of shock waves in high-temperature collisionless plasmas as are encountered in near Earth space and in Astrophysics. It consists of two parts.

Statistical Properties of Small‐Scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Near‐Earth Solar Wind

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a statistical analysis of small‐scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) observed in the near‐Earth solar wind using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) and Wind spacecraft, identified through an automated Grad–Shafranov reconstruction technique.

A comparison of IMP 8 observed bow shock

open access: yes, 2007
a radial flow. Taking the upstream parameters from a distant solar wind monitor (the Wind spacecraft) resulted in the models predicting the shock farther away from the Earth, which is likely a result of the spacecraft separation perpendicular to the ...

The Influence of Interplanetary Magnetic Field Orientations on the Martian Bow Shock and Magnetosheath Magnetic Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Unlike Earth, Mars lacks a global intrinsic magnetic field but has regional crustal magnetic fields concentrated in its southern hemisphere. This unique configuration leads to distinctive interactions with the solar wind.

Comparative Dynamics of Substorms and Sawtooth Events

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive comparative analysis of magnetospheric substorms and sawtooth events using multi‐point observations from ground‐based magnetometers, geostationary satellites, and the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms mission.

Unveiling the structure of the planetary nebula M 2-48:

open access: yes, 2002
The kinematics and physical conditions of the bipolar planetary nebula M 2-48 are analysed from high and low dispersion long-slit spectra. Previous CCD narrow-band optical observations have suggested that this nebula is mainly formed by a pair of ...
