The Dynamics of a High Mach Number Quasi-Perpendicular Shock: MMS Observations
H. Madanian, M. I. Desai, S. J. Schwartz +12
Shock parameters at Earth's bow shock in rare instances can approach the Mach numbers predicted at supernova remnants. We present our analysis of a high Alfvén Mach number ($M_A= 2…
Fire Hose instability driven by alpha particle temperature anisotropy
Lorenzo Matteini, Petr Hellinger, Steven Schwartz +1
We investigate properties of a solar wind-like plasma including a secondary alpha particle population exhibiting a parallel temperature anisotropy with respect to the background ma…
Electron-Ion Temperature Equilibration in Collisionless Shocks: the Supernova Remnant-Solar Wind Connection
Parviz Ghavamian, Steven J. Schwartz, Jeremy Mitchell +2
Collisionless shocks are loosely defined as shocks where the transition between pre-and post-shock states happens on a length scale much shorter than the collisional mean free path…
Non-adiabatic electron behaviour due to short-scale electric field structures at collisionless shock waves
V. See, R. F. Cameron, S. J. Schwartz
Under sufficiently high electric field gradients, electron behaviour within exactly perpendicular shocks is unstable to the so-called trajectory instability. We extend previous wor…
Reformation of an oblique shock observed by Cluster
B. Lefebvre, Y. Seki, S. J. Schwartz +2
On 16 March 2005, the Cluster spacecraft crossed a shock almost at the transition between the quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel regimes () preceded by an up…
