Evolution of lunar wake potentials: structure, energy conversion, and their imprints on velocity distributions
Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Jasper S. Halekas +4
We study the evolution of electric potentials in the lunar wake. The wake potential exhibits two distinct spatial scales. The macroscopic scale arises from solar wind expansion int…
Inferring lunar wake potentials from electron phase space densities
Xin An, Shaosui Xu, Vassilis Angelopoulos +4
Inferring electric potentials from electron phase space density measurements in the lunar wake is complicated by two challenges: the asymmetry between the sunward and anti-sunward…
The Role of Gyrating Ions in Reformation of a Quasi-parallel Supercritical Shock
Hadi Madanian, Terry Z. Liu
Collisionless shocks in space and astrophysical plasmas mediate energy exchange between charged particles and fields in two or more plasma flows. In this study we analyze the evolu…
ARTEMIS observations of electrostatic shocks inside the lunar wake
Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos +1
When the solar wind encounters the Moon, a plasma void forms downstream of it, known as the lunar wake. In regions where the magnetic field is quasi-parallel to the plasma-vacuum b…
Multi-Mission Observations of Relativistic Electrons and High-Speed Jets Linked to Shock Generated Transients
Savvas Raptis, Martin Lindberg, Terry Z. Liu +19
Shock-generated transients, such as hot flow anomalies (HFAs), upstream of planetary bow shocks, play a critical role in electron acceleration. Using multi-mission data from NASA's…
Interaction of the Prominence Plasma within the Magnetic Cloud of an ICME with the Earth's Bow Shock
Hadi Madanian, Li-Jen Chen, Jonathan Ng +5
The magnetic cloud within an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is characterized by high magnetic field intensities. In this study, we investigate the interaction of a mag…
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…
