Concerning pressure and entropy of shock-accelerated heliosheath electrons
Hans J. Fahr, Robindro Dutta-Roy
We study the behaviour of shocked wind-electrons leaving wind-driving stars after undergoing the outer wind termination shock. As an example, we describe the evolution of the keV-e…
Uncertainties in the heliosheath ion temperatures
Klaus Scherer, Hans Jörg Fahr, Horst Fichtner +3
The Voyager plasma observations show that the physics of the heliosheath is rather complex, and especially that the temperature derived from observation differs from expectations.…
Electrons under the dominant action of shock-electric fields
Hans J. Fahr, Daniel Verscharen
We consider a fast magnetosonic multifluid shock as a representation of the solar-wind termination shock. We assume the action of the transition happens in a three-step process: In…
The electron distribution function downstream of the solar-wind termination shock: Where are the hot electrons?
Hans J. Fahr, John D. Richardson, Daniel Verscharen
In the majority of the literature on plasma shock waves, electrons play the role of "ghost particles," since their contribution to mass and momentum flows is negligible, and they h…
Traveling solar-wind bulk-velocity fluctuations and their effects on electron heating in the inner heliosphere
Hans J. Fahr, Igor V. Chashei, Daniel Verscharen
Ambient plasma electrons undergo strong heating in regions associated with compressive traveling interplanetary solar-wind bulk-velocity jumps due to their specific interactions wi…
