PIC simulation of a shock tube: Implications for wave transmission in the heliospheric boundary region

S. Matsukiyo, T. Noumi, G. P. Zank +2

A shock tube problem is solved numerically by using one-dimensional full particle-in-cell simulations under the condition that a relatively tenuous and weakly magnetized plasma is…

Predicting the Solar Wind at Parker Solar Probe Using an Empirically Driven MHD Model

T. K. Kim, N. V. Pogorelov, C. N. Arge +20

Since the launch on 2018/08/12, Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has completed its first and second orbits around the Sun, having reached down to 35.7 solar radii at each perihelion. In an…

Turbulence Transport Modeling and First Orbit Parker Solar Probe (PSP) Observations

Laxman Adhikari, Gary P. Zank, Lingling Zhao +8

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) achieved its first orbit perihelion on November 6, 2018, reaching a heliocentric distance of about 0.165 au (35.55 R). Here, we study the evolution…

Identification of Magnetic Flux Ropes from Parker Solar Probe Observations during the First Encounter

L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, L. Adhikari +17

The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) event during its first orbit around the sun, among many other events. This event is analyzed by…

Mapping Magnetic Field Lines for an Accelerating Solar Wind

S. Tasnim, Iver H. Cairns, B. Li +1

Mapping of magnetic field lines is important for studies of the solar wind and the sources and propagation of energetic particles between the Sun and observers. A recently develope…

Three-Dimensional X-line Spreading in Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection

Tak Chu Li, Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse +1

The spreading of the X-line out of the reconnection plane under a strong guide field is investigated using large-scale three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations in…

The structure of magnetic turbulence in the heliosheath region observed by Voyager 2 at 106 AU

Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson +1

It is currently believed that the turbulent fluctuations pervade the outermost heliosphere. Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, and their link may be responsible for magnetic energy…

Magnetic turbulence spectra and intermittency in the heliosheath and in the local interstellar medium

Federico Fraternale, Nikolai V Pogorelov, John D Richardson +1

The understanding of inertial-scale dynamics in the heliosheath is not yet thorough. Magnetic field fluctuations across the inner heliosheath (IHS) and the local interstellar mediu…

Acceleration of solar wind particles by traveling interplanetary shocks

P. L. Prinsloo, R. D. Strauss, J. A. le Roux

The acceleration of thermal solar wind protons at spherical interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections is investigated. The solar wind velocity distribution is represen…

Solar energetic particle propagation in wave turbulence and the possibility of wave generation

R. D. Strauss, J. A. le Roux

A complete theory for the complex interaction between solar energetic particles and the turbulent interplanetary magnetic field remains elusive. In this work we aim to contribute t…
