Observation of O+ Characteristics During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State Induced by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection

Haoming Liang, Li-Jen Chen, Stephen A. Fuselier +7

We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of oxygen ions (O+) during a coronal mass ejection in April 2023 when the solar wind was sub-Alfvénic and Alfvén wings formed. For…

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 magnetotail…

Turbulence properties and kinetic signatures of electron in Kelvin-Helmholtz waves during a geomagnetic storm

Harsha Gurram, Jason R. Shuster, Li-Jen Chen +5

We present a comprehensive study of Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft encounter with KHI during a geomagnetic storm, focusing on elucidating key turbulence properties and…

Field-Aligned Current Structures during the Terrestrial Magnetosphere's Transformation into Alfven Wings and Recovery

Jason M. H. Beedle, Li-Jen Chen, Jason R. Shuster +8

On April 24th, 2023, a CME event caused the solar wind to become sub-Alfvenic, leading to the development of an Alfven Wing configuration in the Earth's Magnetosphere. Alfven Wings…

Interplanetary magnetic field controlled Alfvén wings at Earth during encounter of a coronal mass ejection

Yuxi Chen, Chuanfei Dong, Li-Jen Chen +2

In the vicinity of Earth's orbit, the typical solar wind Alfvén Mach number exceeds 5, and the super-Alfvénic solar wind drives a conventional magnetosphere configuration. However,…

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 mag…
