Electrostatic solitary waves in the Earth's bow shock: nature, properties, lifetimes and origin
R. Wang, I. Y. Vasko, F. S. Mozer +4
We present a statistical analysis of more than two thousand bipolar electrostatic solitary waves (ESW) collected from ten quasi-perpendicular Earth's bow shock crossings by Magneto…
Observations of Short-Period Ion-Scale Current Sheet Flapping
L. Richard, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham +3
Kink-like flapping motions of current sheets are commonly observed in the magnetotail. Such oscillations have periods of a few minutes down to a few seconds and they propagate towa…
In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…
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…
Sub-ion scale Compressive Turbulence in the Solar wind: MMS spacecraft potential observations
Owen Wyn Roberts, Rumi Nakamura, Klaus Torkar +9
Compressive plasma turbulence is investigated at sub-ion scales in the solar wind using both the Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) instrument on the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission…
Observational Evidence for Stochastic Shock Drift Acceleration of Electrons at the Earth's Bow Shock
T. Amano, T. Katou, N. Kitamura +14
The first-order Fermi acceleration of electrons requires an injection of electrons into a mildly relativistic energy range. However, the mechanism of injection has remained a puzzl…
