High-Resolution Observations of Pickup Ion Mediated Shocks to 60 au
Bishwas L. Shrestha, David J. McComas, Eric J. Zirnstein +10
This study provides a detailed analysis of fourteen distant interplanetary shocks observed by the Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument onboard New Horizons. These shocks were…
What defines stationarity in space plasmas
George Livadiotis, David J. McComas
Starting from the concept of entropy defect in thermodynamics, we construct the entropy formulation of space plasmas, and then use it to develop a measure of their stationarity. In…
Direct Measurements of Synchrotron-Emitting Electrons at Near-Sun Shocks
I. C. Jebaraj, O. V. Agapitov, M. Gedalin +22
In this study, we present the first-ever direct measurements of synchrotron-emitting heliospheric traveling shocks, intercepted by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its close enc…
Corotation-bounce resonance of ions in Jupiter's magnetosphere
Y. Sarkango, J. R. Szalay, P. A. Damiano +6
Banded energy distributions of H, O, S, and O or S ions between 100 eV to ~20 keV are consistently observed in Jupiter's magnetosphere mapping to M-…
In Situ Observations of Preferential Pickup Ion Heating at an Interplanetary Shock
E. J. Zirnstein, D. J. McComas, R. Kumar +6
Non-thermal pickup ions (PUIs) are created in the solar wind (SW) by charge-exchange between SW ions (SWIs) and slow interstellar neutral atoms. It has long been theorized, but not…
Seven Years of Imaging the Global Heliosphere with IBEX
D. J. McComas, E. J. Zirnstein, M. Bzowski +12
The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has now operated in space for 7 years and returned nearly continuous observations that have led to scientific discoveries and reshaped our…
