Local acceleration of protons to 100 keV in a quasi-parallel bow shock
Krzysztof Stasiewicz, Bengt Eliasson, Ian J. Cohen +2
Recent observations in the quasi-parallel bow shock by the MMS spacecraft show rapid heating and acceleration of ions up to an energy of about 100 keV. It is demonstrated that a pr…
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…
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of foreshock transients at their very early stage
Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Hui Zhang +1
Foreshock transients are ion kinetic structures in the ion foreshock. Due to their dynamic pressure perturbations, they can disturb the bow shock and magnetosphere-ionosphere syste…
The ELFIN Mission
V. Angelopoulos, E. Tsai, L. Bingley +79
The Electron Loss and Fields Investigation with a Spatio-Temporal Ambiguity-Resolving option (ELFIN-STAR, or simply: ELFIN) mission comprises two identical 3-Unit (3U) CubeSats on…
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…
Electron energy partition across interplanetary shocks: I. Methodology and Data Product
Lynn B. Wilson, Li-Jen Chen, Shan Wang +10
Analysis of 15314 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) within 2 hours of 52 interplanetary (IP) shocks observed by the \emph{Wind} spacecraft near 1 AU are introduc…
