The Wave-Regulated Precursor of a Near-Parallel Interplanetary Shock Observed by Parker Solar Probe
Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Lucas Colomban, Oleksiy Agapitov +7
Diffusive shock acceleration, at shocks from coronal mass ejections to supernova-remnant blast waves, presupposes a scattering wave field that the accelerated particles themselves…

Magnetic Pumping: Plasma Heating to Particle Acceleration
Mikhail Malkov, Immanuel Jebaraj
One of the earliest mechanisms proposed for plasma heating was magnetic pumping (MP). However, its significance for astrophysical phenomena, including particle acceleration, has ye…

Turbulence-Driven Corrugation of Collisionless Fast-Magnetosonic Shocks
Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Mikhail Malkov, Nicolas Wijsen +4
Collisionless fast-magnetosonic shocks are often treated as smooth, planar boundaries, yet observations point to organized corrugation of the shock surface. A plausible driver is u…
