Pitch angle scattering in the outer heliosheath and formation of the Interstellar Boundary EXplorer ribbon
(2010-12-06)
The dominant and unexpected feature in the first Interstellar Boundary EXplorer (IBEX) maps is a ribbon of the enhanced energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions. Presenting the first results from IBEX,McComas et al. identified ...
A Test of the Interstellar Boundary EXplorer Ribbon Formation in the Outer Heliosheath
(2017-08-11)
NASA's Interstellar Boundary EXplorer (IBEX) mission is imaging energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) propagating to Earth from the outer heliosphere and local interstellar medium (LISM). A dominant feature in all ENA maps is a ...
The nonlinear coupling of electromagnetic ion cyclotron and lower hybrid waves in the ring current region: the magnetic storm 1–7 May 1998
(2004-04-14)
The excitation of lower hybrid waves (LHWs) is a
widely discussed mechanism of interaction between plasma
species in space, and is one of the unresolved questions of
magnetospheric multi-ion plasmas. In this paper we ...
Self-consistent model of the interstellar pickup protons, alfvenic turbulence, and core solar wind in the outer heliosphere
(2012-09-20)
A self-consistent model of the interstellar pickup protons, the slab component of the Alfvenic turbulence, and core solar wind (SW) protons is presented for r {>=} 1 along with the initial results of and comparison with ...
Energy spectrum of energetic particles accelerated by shock waves: From focused transport to diffusive acceleration
(2011-08-23)
The focused transport equation (FTE) includes all the necessary physics for modeling the shock acceleration of energetic particles with a unified description of first-order Fermi acceleration, shock drift acceleration, and ...
Model of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in the inner magnetosphere
(2014-09-25)
The evolution of He+-mode electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves is studied inside the geostationary orbit using our global model of ring current (RC) ions, electric field, plasmasphere, and EMIC waves. In contrast to ...
Self-consistent model of the interstellar pickup protons, Alfvenic turbulence, and core solar wind in the outer heliosphere
(2012-09-05)
A self-consistent model of the interstellar pickup protons, the slab component of the Alfvénic turbulence, and core solar wind (SW) protons is presented for r ≥ 1 along with the initial results of and comparison with the ...
