Plasma wave turbulence at planetary bow shocks
Nature, 1981 Voyager 1 observations of plasma wave turbulence at Saturn's bow shock are discussed and compared with corresponding data from Jupiter, earth, and Venus. The results suggest that the plasma instabilities that develop at the lower Mach number bow shocks of the terrestrial planets differ from those found at the high Mach number bow shocks of the outer ...

Physics‐Based Analytical Model of the Planetary Bow Shock Position and Shape
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2021 AbstractIn studies of physical processes near planetary bow shocks, empirical models of the latter are usually used. While computational magneto‐hydrodynamics (MHD) or kinetic models of bow shocks are often more accurate, their computationally extensive nature limits their applicability to routine analysis of large volumes of data.

Geophysical Monograph Series, 1985
Planetary bow shocks provide insight into both the behavior of collisionless shocks and the nature of the planetary obstacle responsible for creating those bow shocks. This review paper first presents a survey of the microstructure of planetary bow shocks using data obtained at Mercury, Venus, the earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

A comparative analysis of terrestrial and planetary bow shocks
2011 XXXth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, 2011Collisionless shocks, such as the Earth bow shock, are very spectacular and energetic events in the Universe. For instance, generated by supernovae, stellar winds, and the solar wind collisonless shock have important effects. They are considered to be efficient particle accelerators and they act galactic nebula and therefore they are considered to ...

Upstream Transients at Planetary Bow Shocks [PDF]
, 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 ...

Upstream whistler-mode waves at planetary bow shocks: A brief review
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2007Upstream whistler-mode waves appear to be present in front of all collisionless shocks. Because the whistler-mode group velocity exceeds its phase velocity over the frequency range in which the phase velocity increases with frequency, interesting alterations of polarization and frequency spectrum occur in the observer's reference frame.

On the nature of ULF waves upstream of planetary bow shocks
Advances in Space Research, 1981The ULF electromagnetic waves associated with the earth's foreshock appear in two discrete frequency ranges, designated the low frequency waves at 0.01 - .05 Hz and the high frequency waves at 0.4 - 1.0 Hz. Falling within this second class are both the 0.4 Hz discrete wave packets and the slightly higher frequency wave trains commonly found just ...

Space Science Reviews, 1992
The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft include instrumentation that makes comprehensive ion (E ≳ 28 keV) and electron (E ≳ 22 keV) measurements in several energy channels with good temporal, energy, and compositional resolution. Data collected over the past decade (1977–1988), including observations upstream and downstream of four planetary bow shocks (Earth ...

Physical Review Letters, 2021 Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in the Universe and often associated with a strong magnetic field. Here, we use large-scale particle-in-cell simulations of nonrelativistic perpendicular shocks in the high-Mach-number regime to study the amplification

Features of Foreshock Transients at Planetary Bow Shocks
Solar System Research, 2023In front of the bow shock with a quasi-parallel configuration of the interplanetary magnetic field, there exists a region called a foreshock, in which many nonstationary processes take place, the largest of which are collectively named “foreshock transients.” The size of these formations can reach tens of Earth radii, which significantly influences the
