Hybrid simulations of the cusp and dayside magnetosheath dynamics under \ quasi-radial interplanetary magnetic fields

J. Ng, L. J. Chen, Y. Omelchenko +2

Under quasi-radial interplanetary magnetic fields (IMF), foreshock turbulence can have an impact on the magnetosheath and cusps depending on the location of the quasi-parallel shoc…

MMS direct observations of kinetic-scale shock self-reformation

Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Andreas Johlander +6

Studies of shocks have long suggested that a shock can undergo cyclically self-reformation in a time scale of ion cyclotron period. This process has been proposed as a primary mech…

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…

Proton Temperature Anisotropy Variations in Inner Heliosphere Estimated with First Parker Solar Probe Observations

Jia Huang, Justin C. Kasper, Daniel Vech +27

We report proton temperature anisotropy variations in the inner heliosphere with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations. Using a linear fitting method, we derive proton temperature…

On the deviation from Maxwellian of the ion velocity distribution functions in the turbulent magnetosheath

Silvia Perri, D. Perrone, E. Yordanova +20

The degree of deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium in the ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs), measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth's…
