Plasma frequency waves in Earth's electron foreshock
Daniel B. Graham, Yuri V. Khotyaintsev, Mats André +2
At Earth's quasi-perpendicular bow shock, electrons can be reflected and accelerated to high velocities, forming beams. These beams excite Langmuir and beam-mode waves, which can t…
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…
Ion-Acoustic Waves and the Proton-Alpha Streaming Instability at Collisionless Shocks
Daniel B. Graham, Yuri V. Khotyaintsev, Ahmad Lalti
Ion-acoustic waves are routinely observed at collisionless shocks and could be an important source of resistivity. The source of instability and the effects of the waves are not fu…
The Structure and Kinetic Ion Behavior of Low Mach Number Shocks
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev
Low Mach number collisionless shocks are routinely observed in the solar wind and upstream of planetary bodies. However, most in situ observations have lacked the necessary tempora…
