Propagation characteristics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the corona and interplanetary space
Wang, Yuming; Shen, Fang; Shen, Chenglong +3 more
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) play an important role in space weather. The propagation characteristics of CMEs in the Corona and interplanetary space determine whether, when and how the CME will hit the Earth. To this end, a lot of progress has been made both on observational and numerical studies of CMEs. With the development of the advanced obse…
Nonlinear dynamics in space plasma turbulence: temporal stochastic chaos
Chian, A. C. -L.; Miranda, R. A.; Hada, T. +3 more
Intermittent turbulence is key for understanding the stochastic nonlinear dynamics of space, astrophysical, and laboratory plasmas. We review the theory of deterministic and stochastic temporal chaos in plasmas and discuss its link to intermittent turbulence observed in space plasmas. First, we discuss the theory of chaos, intermittency, and compl…
Observations of cross scale energy transfer in the inner heliosphere by Parker Solar Probe
Parashar, Tulasi N.; Matthaeus, William H.
The solar wind, a continuous flow of plasma from the sun, not only shapes the near Earth space environment but also serves as a natural laboratory to study plasma turbulence in conditions that are not achievable in the lab. Starting with the Mariners, for more than five decades, multiple space missions have enabled in-depth studies of solar wind t…
Kinetic properties of collisionless magnetic reconnection in space plasma: in situ observations
Zhou, Meng; Deng, Xiaohua; Zhong, Zhihong
In collisionless plasmas, magnetic reconnection is widely recognized as one of the most important energy conversion and dissipation processes. Although reconnection is usually manifested as macroscopic effects, such as large-scale magnetic topology change and fast plasma flows, kinetic physics is the underlying process driving these macroscopic ph…
Interaction of convective plasma and small-scale magnetic fields in the lower solar atmosphere
Utz, Dominik; Vargas Domínguez, Santiago
In the following short review we will outline some of the possible interaction processes of lower solar atmospheric plasma with the embedded small-scale solar magnetic fields. After introducing the topic, important types of small-scale solar magnetic field elements are outlined to then focus on their creation and evolution, and finally end up desc…
Kinetic Alfvén waves in the magnetotail during substorms
Wang, Chi; Dai, Lei; Duan, Suping
Kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) are low-frequency dispersive Alfvén waves with a small perpendicular wavelength and long parallel wavelength to the ambient magnetic field direction. KAWs carry the parallel electric field with a large perpendicular wave vector angle to the ambient magnetic field. It is well known that KAWs play a significant role in th…
Acoustic waves in the Jovian dusty magnetosphere: a brief review and meta-analysis
Das, Souvik; Atteya, Ahmed; Karmakar, Pralay Kumar
The omnipresence of dust particulates in space and astrophysical plasmas has been attracting numerous researchers to study the collective excitation and propagation dynamics of different eigen-mode structures in diversified astrocosmic circumstances for years. It includes planetary rings, interplanetary space, cometary tails, asteroid zones, plane…
