Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of foreshock transients at their very early stage
Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Hui Zhang +1
Foreshock transients are ion kinetic structures in the ion foreshock. Due to their dynamic pressure perturbations, they can disturb the bow shock and magnetosphere-ionosphere syste…
Formation of foreshock transients and associated secondary shocks
Xin An, Terry Z. Liu, Jacob Bortnik +2
Upstream of shocks, the foreshock is filled with hot ions. When these ions are concentrated and thermalized around a discontinuity, a diamagnetic cavity bounded by compressional bo…
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…
