Direct Multipoint Observations Capturing the Reformation of a Supercritical Fast Magnetosonic Shock
D. L. Turner, L. B. Wilson, K. A. Goodrich +12
Using multipoint Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations in an unusual string-of-pearls configuration, we examine in detail observations of the reformation of a fast magnetoso…
Ion-scale current structures in Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures
Shan Wang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +7
We investigate electric current structures in Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) in the terrestrial ion foreshock region observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mi…
Electron energy partition across interplanetary shocks: II. Statistics
Lynn B. Wilson, Li-Jen Chen, Shan Wang +10
A statistical analysis of 15,210 electron velocity distribution function (VDF) fits, observed within 2 hours of 52 interplanetary (IP) shocks by the spacecraft near 1 A…
Observational evidence of magnetic reconnection in the terrestrial bow shock transition region
Shan Wang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +7
We report evidence of magnetic reconnection in the transition region of the terrestrial bow shock when the angle between the shock normal and the immediate upstream magnetic field…
Fermi acceleration of electrons inside foreshock transient cores
Terry Z. Liu, San Lu, Vassilis Angelopoulos +2
Foreshock transients upstream of Earth's bow shock have been recently observed to accelerate electrons to many times their thermal energy. How such acceleration occurs is unknown,…
A statistical study of the properties of large amplitude whistler waves and their association with few eV to 30 keV electron distributions observed in the magnetosphere by Wind
L. B. Wilson, C. A. Cattell, P. J. Kellogg +4
We present a statistical study of the characteristics of very large amplitude whistler waves inside the terrestrial magnetosphere using waveform capture data from the Wind spacecra…
