MMS direct observations of kinetic-scale shock self-reformation

Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Andreas Johlander +6

Studies of shocks have long suggested that a shock can undergo cyclically self-reformation in a time scale of ion cyclotron period. This process has been proposed as a primary mech…

Whistler instability driven by the sunward electron deficit in the solar wind

Laura Berčič, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher J. Owen +18

Solar wind electrons play an important role in the energy balance of the solar wind acceleration by carrying energy into interplanetary space in the form of electron heat flux. The…

The solar-wind angular-momentum flux observed during Solar Orbiter's first orbit

Daniel Verscharen, David Stansby, Adam J. Finley +19

Aims: We present the first measurements of the solar-wind angular-momentum (AM) flux recorded by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. Our aim is the validation of these measurements to su…

Direct Multipoint Observations Capturing the Reformation of a Supercritical Fast Magnetosonic Shock

D. L. Turner, L. B. Wilson, K. A. Goodrich +12

Using multipoint Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations in an unusual string-of-pearls configuration, we examine in detail observations of the reformation of a fast magnetoso…

First-year ion-acoustic wave observations in the solar wind by the RPW/TDS instrument onboard Solar Orbiter

D. Píša, J. Souček, O. Santolík +21

Electric field measurements of the Time Domain Sampler (TDS) receiver, part of the Radio and Plasma Waves (RPW) instrument on board Solar Orbiter, often exhibit very intense broadb…

Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in particle-in-cell simulations of anisotropic plasma turbulence

Jeffersson A. Agudelo Rueda, Daniel Verscharen, Robert T. Wicks +6

We use 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations to study the occurrence of magnetic reconnection in a simulation of decaying turbulence created by anisotropic counter-propagat…
