Models of Collisionless Quasineutral Solar Wind Current Sheets
Sophie Boswell, Thomas Neukirch, Anton Artemyev +2
In situ measurements of kinetic scale current sheets in the solar wind show that they are often approximately force-free although the plasma beta is of order one. They frequently d…
Slow electron holes in the Earth's magnetosheath
Z. I. Shaikh, I. Y. Vasko, I. H. Hutchinson +4
We present a statistical analysis of electrostatic solitary waves observed aboard Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft in the Earth's magnetosheath. Applying single-spacecraft inte…
Solar wind current sheets: MVA inaccuracy and recommended single-spacecraft methodology
Rachel Wang, Ivan Y. Vasko, Tai Phan +1
We present the analysis of 2,033 current sheets (CS) observed aboard four Cluster spacecraft in a pristine solar wind. Four-spacecraft estimates of the CS normal and propagation ve…
Multi-point Assessment of the Kinematics of Shocks (MAKOS): A Heliophysics Mission Concept Study
Katherine A. Goodrich, Lynn B. Wilson, Steven Schwartz +6
Collisionless shocks are fundamental processes that are ubiquitous in space plasma physics throughout the Heliosphere and most astrophysical environments. Earth's bow shock and int…
Density Enhancement Streams in The Solar Wind
F. S. Mozer, O. Agapitov, S. D. Bale +5
This letter describes a new phenomenon on the Parker Solar Probe of recurring plasma density enhancements that have n/n ~10% and that occur at a repetition rate of ~5 Hz. They w…
Double layers in the Earth's bow shock
Jiepu Sun, Ivan Y. Vasko, Stuart D. Bale +2
We present Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of electrostatic double layers in quasi-perpendicular Earth's bow shock. These double layers have predominantly parallel electric…
Kinetic-scale current sheets in the solar wind at 1 AU: Scale-dependent properties and critical current density
Ivan Y. Vasko, Kazbek Alimov, Tai Phan +3
We present analysis of 17,043 proton kinetic-scale current sheets collected over 124 days of Wind spacecraft measurements in the solar wind at 11 Samples/s magnetic field resolutio…
Electrostatic steepening of whistler waves
Ivan Y. Vasko, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Forrest S. Mozer +4
We present surprising observations by the NASA Van Allen Probes spacecraft of whistler waves with substantial electric field power at harmonics of the whistler wave fundamental fre…
