MMS Insights into CME Driven Sub-Alfvénic Solar Wind at 1 AU
Harsha Gurram, Li-Jen Chen, Matthew R. Argall +4
We report the properties of electron distributions and turbulence during a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) in April 2023 observed by Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS). The CME exhibits a…
Observation of O+ Characteristics During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State Induced by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Haoming Liang, Li-Jen Chen, Stephen A. Fuselier +7
We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of oxygen ions (O+) during a coronal mass ejection in April 2023 when the solar wind was sub-Alfvénic and Alfvén wings formed. Fo…
Earth's Alfvén Wings: Unveiling Dynamic Variations of Field-line Topologies with Electron Distributions
Harsha Gurram, Jason R. Shuster, Li-Jen Chen +6
The magnetic cloud (MC) of the Coronal Mass Ejection on April 24, 2023, contains sub-Alfvénic solar wind, transforming Earth's magnetosphere from conventional bow-shock magnetotai…
Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33
We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the m…
