Revisiting mirror modes in the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Goetz, Charlotte; Volwerk, Martin; Tello Fallau, Ariel +2 more

The plasma environment of comet 67P provides a unique laboratory to study plasma phenomena in the interplanetary medium. There, waves are generated which help the plasma relax back to stability through wave-particle interactions, transferring energy from the wave to the particles and vice versa. In this study, we focus on mirror-mode-like structur…
