Simulation of a Perpendicular Bow Shock
Mach number cases, whose laminar structures have been adequately described by magnetosonic Simulations of a high Mach number shock with wavetrains that scale as C/mpe ITidman and Krall, parameters typical of the earth's bow hock have 1971). Computer simulations including both been performed using a hybrid (particle ions, electron and ion scales, have significantly fluid electrons) code. The sim...
متن کاملRelativistic Electrons Produced by Foreshock Disturbances Observed Upstream of Earth's Bow Shock.
Charged particles can be reflected and accelerated by strong (i.e., high Mach number) astrophysical collisionless shock waves, streaming away to form a foreshock region in communication with the shock. Foreshocks are primarily populated by suprathermal ions that can generate foreshock disturbances-large-scale (i.e., tens to thousands of thermal ion Larmor radii), transient (∼5-10 per day) stru...
متن کاملPulsar bow - shock nebulae II . Hydrodynamical Simulation
We present hydrodynamical simulations, using a 2-D two component model (ambient medium and pulsar wind have different specific heat ratios), of bow shocks in a representative regime for pulsar wind driven bow-shock nebulae. We also investigate the behaviour of a passive toroidal magnetic field wound around the pulsar velocity direction. Moreover we estimate the opacity of the bow-shock to penet...
متن کاملMhd Turbulence in Saturn's Magnetosheath Downstream of a Quasi Parallel Bow Shock
The origin of the MHD turbulence downstream of a quasi parallel shock is investigated using plasma and magnetic eld data taken by Voyagers 1 and 2 during their outbound traversals of the Saturn's magnetosheath. The characteristics of the waves observed in that region are compared with those of the waves present: (i) downstream of a quasi perpendicular shock; (ii) in the foreshock. The last comp...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the cross-shock electric potential at low plasma β, quasi-perpendicular bow shocks
We use the Cluster EFW experiment to measure the cross-shock electric field at ten low β, quasi-perpendicular supercritical bow shock crossings on March 31, 2001. The electric field data are Lorentz-tranformed to a Normal Incidence frame (NIF), in which the incoming solar wind velocity is aligned with the shock normal. In a boundary normal coordinate system, the cross-shock (normal) electric fi...
