Lucek, E.; Reme, H.; Cao, Jin-Bin +2 more

The data from two same satellites (CLUSTER C1 and C3) were used to make a statistical study of the solar wind deceleration and deflection in the Earth's foreshock region for the first time. In the foreshock coordinates, the magnitude of deceleration is inversely proportional to the distance DBS between the satellite and the bow shock along the int…
