Energetic particle-mediated interplanetary shocks observed by Solar Orbiter

D. Trotta, D. Lario, B. Reville +10

Context: In collisionless shocks, energetic particles can carry sufficient pressure to modify the upstream plasma and the shock structure itself, a regime often invoked in theories…

A study of the transition to a turbulent shock using a coarse-graining approach to ion phase space transport

D. Trotta, F. Valentini, D. Burgess +1

Shocks and turbulence are ubiquitous phenomena, responsible for particle acceleration to very high energies in a large collection of astrophysical systems. Using self-consistent, h…

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…

Particle transport in hybrid PIC shock simulations: A comparison of diagnostics

D. Trotta, D. Burgess, G. Prete +2

Recent in-situ and remote observations suggest that the transport regime associated with shock accelerated particles may be anomalous {i.e., the Mean Square Displacement (MSD) of s…

Electron acceleration at quasi-perpendicular shocks in sub- and supercritical regimes: 2D and 3D simulations

D. Trotta, D. Burgess

Shock accelerated electrons are found in many astrophysical environments, and the mechanisms by which they are accelerated to high energies are still not completely clear. For rela…

An in situ comparison of electron acceleration at collisionless shocks under differing upstream magnetic field orientations

A. Masters, A. H. Sulaiman, Ł. Stawarz +6

A leading explanation for the origin of Galactic cosmic rays is acceleration at high-Mach number shock waves in the collisionless plasma surrounding young supernova remnants. Evide…
