Modeling Accelerated Pick-up Ion Distributions at an Interplanetary Shock
The acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions as well as solar wind species has been observed at a multitude of interplanetary (IP) shocks by different spacecraft. The efficiency of injection of the pick-up ion component differs from that of the solar wind, and is expected to be strongly enhanced at highly oblique and quasi-perpendicular shock events, in accord with inferences from in situ obse...
متن کاملPitch Angle Sca2tering of Cometary Ions into Monospherical and Bispherical Distributions
Low frequency magnetic fluctuations generated by solar wind/cometary ion distributions cause pitch-angle scattering of cometary ions. The nature of this pitch angle scattering is examined by means of one-dimensional hybrid simulations, in which newborn ions are created at a constant rate, and for various injection angles, o•, relative to the magnetic field. Pitch angie scattering in the quasipe...
متن کاملElectron pitch angle distributions as indicators of magnetic field topology near Mars
[1] We have analyzed electron angular distributions recorded near Mars over a period of 7 years in order to constrain the topology of magnetic field lines near Mars. We used 63 million pitch angle distributions of 115 eV electrons measured at 400 km altitudes by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft and classified them according to their shape. Closed magnetic field lines are associated wit...
متن کاملEvolution of an Interplanetary Shock in the Magnetosheath
We have prepared a short case study of a propagation of an interplanetary shock through the solar wind and magnetosheath. For this particular case, magnetic field and plasma measurements from four spacecraft in the solar wind and one in the magnetosheath are available. It allows us to determine both local and global shock planes and shock propagation speeds in the solar wind as well as local sh...
متن کاملDiffusive Acceleration of Ions at Interplanetary Shocks
Heliospheric shocks are excellent systems for testing theories of particle acceleration in their environs. These generally fall into two classes: (1) interplanetary shocks that are linear in their ion acceleration characteristics, with the non-thermal ions serving as test particles, and (2) non-linear systems such as the Earth’s bow shock and the solar wind termination shock, where the accelera...
