Upstream Transients at Planetary Bow Shocks
, 2009 Kinetic processes occurring upstream of planetary bow shocks can greatly perturb the magnetosphere-striking solar wind. Collisionless shocks are highly non-linear systems with complicated feedback mechanisms. Transient events form part of the growing evidence that shocks are highly variable and far more complex than a large-scale quasi-static picture ...

The location of planetary bow shocks: A critical overview of theory and observations
Advances in Space Research, 1995 A bow shock (BS has been observed in the collisionless solar wind upstream of every planet except Pluto, which has yet to be visited by a spacecraft. They are all of similar character, but their size relative to the planet varies widely, e.g., the planeto-centric distance to the BS nose ranges from about 1.4 R(sub V) for Venus to 88 R(sub J) or more ...

Impact of solar-wind turbulence on a planetary bow shock [PDF]
Astronomy & AstrophysicsOver the past decades, near-Earth spacecraft observations have provided insights into the physics of the bow shock, suggesting that solar wind intrinsic turbulence influences the bow shock dynamics. On the other hand, theoretical studies, based on global numerical simulations, have not yet investigated the global 3D interaction between a turbulent ...

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020 Study of physical processes in plasma near planets often requires knowledge of the position and shape of the planetary bow shock. Empirical models are usually used since theoretical MHD and kinetic models consume too much computer time and cannot be used to track fast processes. M.I.

The Astrophysical JournalUpstream of quasi-parallel bow shocks, reflected ions generate ion–ion instabilities. The resulting magnetic fluctuations can advect through the shock and interact with planetary magnetospheres.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROCESSING OF SOLIDS THROUGH SOLAR NEBULAR BOW SHOCKS: 3D RADIATION HYDRODYNAMICS SIMULATIONS WITH PARTICLES [PDF]
, 2013 A fundamental, unsolved problem in solar system formation is explaining the melting and crystallization of chondrules found in chondritic meteorites. Theoretical models of chondrule melting in nebular shocks have been shown to be consistent with many ...

Magnetohydrodynamic Shocks Revisited: Magnetically Constraining the Upstream Solar Wind Condition
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shocks are commonly found in various space and astrophysical systems. One often encounters the problem that only the magnetic field data are available when studying interplanetary shocks and planetary bow shocks in the solar ...

Subcritcal dispersive shock waves upstream of planetary bow shocks and at comet Giacobini‐Zinner
Geophysical Research Letters, 1988 Electromagnetic simulations are used to investigate the nonlinear evolution of ULF (magnetosonic) waves. These waves have been observed upstream of planetary bow shocks and at Comet Giacobini‐Zinner. The simulations show that these waves steepen to form subcritical dispersive shock waves.
