Proton Temperature Anisotropy Across Interplanetary Shocks: A Statistical Analysis with WIND observations
Zeping Jin, Lingling Zhao, Xingyu Zhu +6
Interplanetary (IP) shocks efficiently modify the proton temperature anisotropy of the solar wind. Analyzing ~800 IP shocks observed by the Wind spacecraft from 1997-2024, we prese…

Two-Dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability with Anisotropic Pressure
Shishir Biswas, Masaru Nakanotani, Dinshaw S. Balsara +2
The Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability occurs in multiple heliospheric (solar-wind stream interfaces, planetary magnetospheres, cometary tails, heliopause flanks) and interstellar (…

An anisotropic plasma model of the heliospheric interface
Vladimir Florinski, Dinshaw S. Balsara, Deepak Bhoriya +4
We present a pioneering model of the interaction between the solar wind and the surrounding interstellar medium that includes the possibility of different pressures in directions p…
