Reformation of Supercritical Perpendicular Shock

Yuri V. Khotyaintsev, Domenico Trotta, Daniel B. Graham

Super-critical collisionless shocks are not static structures but evolve continuously as they reflect incoming ions back upstream. The physical process responsible for this non-sta…

Energetic particle-mediated interplanetary shocks observed by Solar Orbiter

D. Trotta, D. Lario, B. Reville +10

Context: In collisionless shocks, energetic particles can carry sufficient pressure to modify the upstream plasma and the shock structure itself, a regime often invoked in theories…

Compressive Structures in the Foreshock of Collisionless Shocks

Savvas Raptis, Domenico Trotta, Drew L. Turner +11

Collisionless shocks are fundamental accelerators of energetic particles; yet, the observations of nonlinear foreshock structures, which are essential in acceleration processes, di…

Ion-Scale Solitary Structures in the Solar Wind Observed by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe

Yufei Yang, Timothy S. Horbury, Domenico Trotta +12

We investigate a class of ion-scale magnetic solitary structures in the solar wind, characterized by distinct magnetic field enhancements and bipolar rotations over spatial scales…

Variability in energetic particle observations at strong interplanetary shocks: Multi-spacecraft observations

Domenico Trotta, Timothy S. Horbury, Joe Giacalone

Context. Interplanetary (IP) shock waves offer an unparalleled opportunity to directly study the elusive mechanisms of particle acceleration that are pervasive in our Universe. Nov…

A study of the transition to a turbulent shock using a coarse-graining approach to ion phase space transport

D. Trotta, F. Valentini, D. Burgess +1

Shocks and turbulence are ubiquitous phenomena, responsible for particle acceleration to very high energies in a large collection of astrophysical systems. Using self-consistent, h…
