Geomagnetic storms driven by ICME- and CIR-dominated solar wind. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The interaction of the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere is complex and the phenomenology of the interaction is very different for solar wind dominated by interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) compared to solar wind dominated by corotating

Solar wind dependence of ion parameters in the earth's magnetospheric region calculated from CLUSTER observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Moments calculated from the ion distributions (~0–40 keV) measured by the Cluster Ion Spectrometry (CIS) instrument are combined with data from the Cluster Flux Gate Magnetometer (FGM) instrument and used to characterise the bulk properties of the plasma

Voyager 2 observation of the multifractal spectrum in the heliosphere and the heliosheath [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2013
We look in detail at the multifractal scaling of the fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field strength as measured onboard Voyager 2 in the entire heliosphere and even in the heliosheath.

Neutral solar wind generated by lunar exospheric dust at the terminator [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2009
We calculate the flux of neutral solar wind observed on the lunar surface at the terminator due to solar wind protons penetrating exospheric dust grains with (1) radii greater than 0.1 μm and (2) radii greater than 0.01 μm. For grains with radii larger than 0.1 μm, the ratio of the neutral solar wind flux produced by exospheric dust to the incident ...

A Three-dimensional Model for the Evolution of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Outer Heliosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a time-dependent, three-dimensional single-fluid model for the transport of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence that is self-consistently evolving with a dynamic large-scale solar wind in the outer heliosphere.

A two-component transport model for solar wind fluctuations: Waves plus quasi-2D turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a model for the transport of solar wind fluctuations, based on the assumption that they can be well-represented using two distinct components: a quasi-2D turbulence piece and a wave-like piece.

Unexpected sites of efficient stochastic acceleration in the inner heliosheath [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2007
Up until the recent past, it was generally believed that the solar wind termination shock (TS) is the favourite site to accelerate ions from the keV- to the MeV- energy levels by means of Fermi-1 processes.

Mediation of the solar wind termination shock by non-thermal ions [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2008
Broad regions on both sides of the solar wind termination shock are populated by high intensities of non-thermal ions and electrons. The pre-shock particles in the solar wind have been measured by the spacecraft Voyager 1 (refs 1-5) and Voyager 2 (refs 3, 6).

Solar cycle dependence of scaling in solar wind fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this review we collate recent results for the statistical scaling properties of fluctuations in the solar wind with a view to synthesizing two descriptions: that of evolving MHD turbulence and that of a scaling signature of coronal origin that ...

The influence of solar wind variability on magnetospheric ULF wave power [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Magnetospheric ultra-low frequency (ULF) oscillations in the Pc 4–5 frequency range play an important role in the dynamics of Earth's radiation belts, both by enhancing the radial diffusion through incoherent interactions and through the coherent drift ...
