Perez, JD; Zhang, XX; Brandt, PC; Mitchell, DG; Jahn, JM; Pollock, CJ; Mende, SB (2020-06-18)
[1] Images from the IMAGE satellite of precipitating protons (SU12/FUV) and trapped protons at 8.5 (MENA) and 33 keV (HENA) are compared during three periods: ( 1) 12 August 2000 from 1000 UT to 1145 UT just after the peak ...

Generation of near-Earth reconnection by divergent flows in the plasma sheet 

Lin, Y.; Swift, DW; 0000-0001-8003-9252 (2020-06-25)
A global two-dimensional hybrid simulation is carried out to study the evolution of the near-Earth plasma sheet. It is shown that reconnection X lines and plasmoids can be generated by diverging flows in the plasma sheet. ...

Cable, S.; Lin, Y.; Holloway, J. L.; 0000-0001-8003-9252 (2020-06-18)
Previous MHD simulations predict that when switch-on shock conditions obtain in the solar wind, the bow shock produced in front of an ellipsoidal obstacle will produce a unique bow shock configuration that includes a concave ...
