Magnetic Reconnection within the Boundary Layer of a Magnetic Cloud in the Solar Wind

Zoltán Vörös, Ali Varsani, Emiliya Yordanova +5

The twisted local magnetic field at the front or rear regions of the magnetic clouds (MCs) associated with interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) is often nearly opposite to…

Dynamics of charged dust in the orbit of Venus

Lei Zhou, Christoph Lhotka, Catalin Gales +2

We study the dynamics of co-orbital dust in the inner solar system, i.e. the role of the solar radiation pressure, Poynting-Robertson effect, solar wind, and the interplanetary mag…

On the applicability of Taylor's hypothesis in streaming magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

R. A. Treumann, W. Baumjohann, Yasuhito Narita

We examine the range of applicability of Taylor's hypothesis used in observations of magnetic turbulence in the solar wind. We do not refer to turbulence theory. We simply ask whet…

On the ion-inertial range density power spectra in solar wind turbulence

R. A. Treumann, W. Baumjohann, Yasuhito Narita

A model-independent first-principle first-order investigation of the shape of turbulent density-power spectra in the ion-inertial range of the solar wind at 1 AU is presented. De-m…

Inner Structure of CME Shock Fronts Revealed by the Electromotive Force and Turbulent Transport Coefficients in Helios-2 Observations

Philippe-A. Bourdin, Bernhard Hofer, Yasuhito Narita

Electromotive force is an essential quantity in dynamo theory. During a coronal mass ejection (CME), magnetic helicity gets decoupled from the Sun and advected into the heliosphere…

Electron scale structures and magnetic reconnection signatures in the turbulent magnetosheath

E. Yordanova, Z. Vörös, A. Varsani +26

Collisionless space plasma turbulence can generate reconnecting thin current sheets as suggested by recent results of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The MMS mission pro…

Charged dust grain dynamics subject to solar wind, Poynting-Robertson drag, and the interplanetary magnetic field

Christoph Lhotka, Philippe Bourdin, Yasuhito Narita

We investigate the combined effect of solar wind, Poynting-Robertson drag, and the frozen-in interplanetary magnetic field on the motion of charged dust grains in our solar system.…

Inverse scattering problem in turbulent magnetic fluctuations

R. A. Treumann, W. Baumjohann, Y. Narita

We apply a particular form of the inverse scattering theory to turbulent magnetic fluctuations in a plasma. In the present note we develop the theory, formulate the magnetic fluctu…

Turbulence-generated proton-scale structures in the terrestrial magnetosheath

Zoltán Vörös, Emiliya Yordanova, Marius M. Echim +2

Recent results of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations suggest that in collisionless space plasmas turbulence can spontaneously generate thin current sheets. These coherent st…

Twisted magnetic flux tubes in the solar wind

Teimuraz Zaqarashvili, Zoltán Vörös, Yasuhito Narita +1

Magnetic flux tubes in the solar wind can be twisted as they are transported from the solar surface, where the tubes are twisted owing to photospheric motions. It is suggested that…
