Earth's Alfvén Wings: Unveiling Dynamic Variations of Field-line Topologies with Electron Distributions
Harsha Gurram, Jason R. Shuster, Li-Jen Chen +6
The magnetic cloud (MC) of the Coronal Mass Ejection on April 24, 2023, contains sub-Alfvénic solar wind, transforming Earth's magnetosphere from conventional bow-shock magnetotai…

Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33
We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the m…
