Heliospheric Current Sheet Distortions from Adjacent Outflowing Transients: Multi-spacecraft Observations

Lavraud, B.; Fazakerley, A. N.; Owen, C. J. +2 more

The heliospheric current sheet (HCS) is a permanent solar wind feature, with well predicted Earth passages, but it can be structured and its main orientation can be highly distorted. We report new observations from 2 spacecraft in the solar wind (supported by observations from 3 spacecraft in the nightside magnetosheath), showing an evolution acro…
