Electron pairing in mirror modes: Surpassing the quasilinear limit

R. A. Treumann, W. Baumjohann

The mirror mode evolving in collisionless magnetised high-temperature thermally anisotropic plasmas is shown to develop an interesting macro-state. Starting as a classical zero fre…

Electron acceleration and thermalization at magnetotail separatrices

C. Norgren, M. Hesse, P. Tenfjord +8

In this study we use the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to investigate the electron acceleration and thermalization occurring along the magnetic reconnection separatrices…

Implication of Kinetic Alfven Waves to Magnetic Field Turbulence Spectra: Earth's Magnetosheath

N. K. Dwivedi, S. Kumar, P. Kovacs +5

In the present paper, we investigate the power-law behaviour of the magnetic field spectra in the Earths magnetosheath region using Cluster spacecraft data under solar minimum cond…

Atmospheric Electricity at the Ice Giants

K. L. Aplin, G. Fischer, T. A. Nordheim +3

Lightning was detected by Voyager 2 at Uranus and Neptune, and weaker electrical processes also occur throughout planetary atmospheres from galactic cosmic ray (GCR) ionisation. Li…

On the deviation from Maxwellian of the ion velocity distribution functions in the turbulent magnetosheath

Silvia Perri, D. Perrone, E. Yordanova +20

The degree of deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium in the ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs), measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth's…

Self-Similarity of ICME Flux Ropes: Observations by Radially Aligned Spacecraft in the Inner Heliosphere

S. W. Good, E. K. J. Kilpua, A. T. LaMoury +3

Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are a significant feature of the heliospheric environment and the primary cause of adverse space weather at the Earth. ICME propagatio…

Forecasting the Ambient Solar Wind with Numerical Models: I. On the Implementation of an Operational Framework

Martin A. Reiss, Peter J. MacNeice, Leila M. Mays +4

The ambient solar wind conditions in interplanetary space and in the near-Earth environment are determined by activity on the Sun. Steady solar wind streams modulate the propagatio…

Direct observations of a surface eigenmode of the dayside magnetopause

M. O. Archer, H. Hietala, M. D. Hartinger +2

The abrupt boundary between a magnetosphere and the surrounding plasma, the magnetopause, has long been known to support surface waves. It was proposed that impulses acting on the…

Solar wind charge exchange in cometary atmospheres III. Results from the Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Cyril Simon Wedlund, Etienne Behar, Hans Nilsson +12

Solar wind charge-changing reactions are of paramount importance to the physico-chemistry of the atmosphere of a comet. The ESA/Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (…

Turbulence-driven ion beams in the magnetospheric Kelvin-Helmholtz instability

Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retinò +21

The description of the local turbulent energy transfer, and the high-resolution ion distributions measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, together provide a formidable t…

Generic magnetic field intensity profiles of interplanetary coronal mass ejections at Mercury, Venus and Earth from superposed epoch analyses

Miho Janvier, Reka Winslow, Simon Good +8

We study interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) measured by probes at different heliocentric distances (0.3-1AU) to investigate the propagation of ICMEs in the inner heliosp…
