Observations of Energized Electrons in the Martian Magnetosheath

K. Horaites, L. Andersson, S. J. Schwartz +5

This observational study demonstrates that the magnitude and location of energization of electrons in the Martian magnetosheath is more complex than previous studies suggest. Elect…

Patch Size Evolution During Pulsating Aurora

N. Partamies, K. Bolmgren, E. Heino +3

We report both decreasing and increasing trends in the patch sizes during pulsating aurora events. About 150 pulsating auroral events over the Fennoscandian Lapland have been succe…

Interplay of Turbulence and Proton-Microinstability Growth in Space Plasmas

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Ramiz A. Qudsi, William H. Matthaeus +13

Numerous prior studies have shown that as proton beta increases, a narrower range of proton temperature anisotropy values is observed. This effect has often been ascribed to the ac…

Intermittency and Ion Temperature-Anisotropy Instabilities: Simulation and Magnetosheath Observation

Ramiz A. Qudsi, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Bennett A. Maruca +11

Weakly collisional space plasmas are rarely in local thermal equilibrium and often exhibit non-Maxwellian electron and ion velocity distributions that lead to the growth of microin…

Dependence of kinetic plasma waves on ion-to-electron mass ratio and light-to-Alfvén speed ratio

Daniel Verscharen, Tulasi N. Parashar, S. Peter Gary +1

The magnetization is an important parameter in plasma astrophysics, where and are the electron gyro-frequency and…

Electron acceleration by magnetosheath jet-driven bow waves

Terry Z. Liu, Heli Hietala, Vassilis Angelopoulos +2

Magnetosheath jets are localized fast flows with enhanced dynamic pressure. When they supermagnetosonically compress the ambient magnetosheath plasma, a bow wave or shock can form…

Statistical study of magnetosheath jet-driven bow waves

Terry Z. Liu, Heli Hietala, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3

When a magnetosheath jet (localized dynamic pressure enhancements) compresses ambient magnetosheath at a (relative) speed faster than the local magnetosonic speed, a bow wave or sh…
