Storm-Time Cusp Precipitation: Insights from TRACERS Multi-Crossing Observations
Shirsh Lata Soni, David M. Miles, Jasper Halekas +12
The dayside cusp provides a direct pathway for solar wind plasma entry into the magnetosphere ionosphere system through magnetic reconnection. Using low altitude ion and electron m…
Multi-point Assessment of the Kinematics of Shocks (MAKOS): A Heliophysics Mission Concept Study
Katherine A. Goodrich, Lynn B. Wilson, Steven Schwartz +6
Collisionless shocks are fundamental processes that are ubiquitous in space plasma physics throughout the Heliosphere and most astrophysical environments. Earth's bow shock and int…
The Persistent Mystery of Collisionless Shocks
Katherine Goodrich, Steven Schwartz, Lynn Wilson +14
Collisionless shock waves are one of the main forms of energy conversion in space plasmas. They can directly or indirectly drive other universal plasma processes such as magnetic r…
Small Platforms, High Return: The Need to Enhance Investment in Small Satellites for Focused Science, Career Development, and Improved Equity
James Paul Mason, Robert G. Begbie, Maitland Bowen +33
In the next decade, there is an opportunity for very high return on investment of relatively small budgets by elevating the priority of smallsat funding in heliophysics. We've lear…
Unified view of nonlinear wave structures associated with whistler-mode chorus
Xin An, Jinxing Li, Jacob Bortnik +3
A range of nonlinear wave structures, including Langmuir waves, unipolar electric fields and bipolar electric fields, are often observed in association with whistler-mode chorus wa…
