Abstract:The structure of subcritical interplanetary shocks was studied using high time resolution from the BMSW plasma instrument onboard the Spektr-R satellite and MFI magnetometer measurements from WIND. Ion scales of the ramp and wavelength of precursor waves were obtained and compared with results of the bow shock structure study. The comparison of precursor wavelengths, determined experimentally with those determined from dispersion relation for low-Mach, low-beta shocks has showed similar results. This confirms … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
