Interplanetary Stream Interfaces

Comparison of interplanetary signatures of streamers and pseudostreamers

If the source of the slow solar wind is a web comprising pseudostreamer belts connected to the streamer belt, then one expects the properties of interplanetary pseudostreamer flows to be similar to those of streamer flows. That expectation is tested with data from the slow wind preceding stream interfaces in stream interaction regions at 1 AU, where the interfaces separate what was originally s...

Role of the Russell–McPherron effect in the acceleration of relativistic electrons

While it is well known that high fluxes of relativistic electrons in the Earth’s radiation belts are associated with high-speed solar wind and its heightened geoeffectiveness, less known is the fact that the Russell–McPherron (R–M) effect strongly controls whether or not a given high-speed stream is geoffective. To test whether it then follows that the R–M effect also strongly controls fluxes o...

The particle density, and the magnetic field intensity and direction, are calculated in corotating streams of the solar wind. It is assumed that the solar wind velocity is constant and radial and that its azimuthal variations are not too rapid. These assumptions are approximately valid between 0.1 and 1 AU for many streams. In the absence of streaming, n decreases as r2 and B/n is relatively co...
