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…

Magnitude of Short-Wavelength Electric Field Fluctuations in Simulations of Collisionless Plasma Shocks
Vadim Roytershteyn, Lynn B. Wilson, Li-Jen Chen +2
Large-amplitude electrostatic fluctuations are routinely observed by spacecraft upon traversal of collisionless shocks in the heliosphere. Kinetic simulations of shocks have strugg…

Direct Measurements of Synchrotron-Emitting Electrons at Near-Sun Shocks
I. C. Jebaraj, O. V. Agapitov, M. Gedalin +22
In this study, we present the first-ever direct measurements of synchrotron-emitting heliospheric traveling shocks, intercepted by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its close enc…
