Boundaries and Currents of the Dayside Magnetosphere: MHD Simulations and Observations
(2023-05-22)
The solar wind streams through space at supersonic speeds, carrying plasma and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) from the sun. Earth’s magnetosphere presents a magnetosonic obstacle to the solar wind flow, which slows ...
Relation Between Solitary Wave Occurrence and Solar Wind Parameters During the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability
(2023-08-07)
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is an important mechanism whereby the solar wind transports energy and momentum into the magnetosphere. One unresolved topic is the role of kinetic phenomena and turbulence in mediating ...
