Unveiling the journey of a highly inclined CME. Insights from the March 13, 2012, event with 110° longitudinal separation
Lario, D.; Jian, L. K.; Temmer, M. +8 more
Context. A fast (∼2000 km s−1) and wide (> 110°) coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the Sun on March 13, 2012. Its interplanetary counterpart was detected in situ two days later by STEREO-A and near-Earth spacecraft, such as ACE, Wind, and Cluster. We suggest that at 1 au the CME extended at least 110° in longitude, with Earth …
Derivation of a generalized Kappa distribution from the scaling properties of solar wind magnetic field fluctuations at kinetic scales
Consolini, Giuseppe; Benella, Simone; Belardinelli, Daniele +1 more
Context. Kinetic-scale dynamics in weakly collisional space plasmas usually exhibits a self-similar statistics of magnetic field fluctuations. This implies the existence of an invariant probability density function (master curve). Aims. We provide an analytical derivation of the master curve by assuming that perpendicular fluctuations can be model…
