Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlocal plasma turbulence associated with interplanetary shocks
TL;DR: In this paper, a region of plasma turbulence extending several tenths of an astronomical unit upstream or downstream of interplanetary shocks has been detected by the plasma wave instrument on ISEE 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the November 12, 1978, quasi‐parallel interplanetary shock
Charles F. Kennel,J. P. Edmiston,F. L. Scarf,F. V. Coroniti,Christopher T. Russell,E. J. Smith,Bruce T. Tsurutani,J. D. Scudder,W. C. Feldman,Roger R. Anderson,F. S. Mozer,M. Temerin +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the jump in plasma parameters exhibited by the intense interplanetary shock event of Nov. 12, 1978 is analyzed using ISEE 1, 2 and 3 data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expectations for the microphysics of the Mars‐solar wind interaction
TL;DR: The two Phobos spacecraft, which will start to orbit Mars early in 1989, will be capable of investigating in detail the microphysics of the Mars-solar wind interaction as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of a quasi-parallel, quasi-laminar bow shock
E. W. Greenstadt,Christopher T. Russell,V. Formisano,P. C. Hedgecock,F. L. Scarf,Marcia Neugebauer,Robert E. Holzer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-parallel bow shock structure was observed with field and particle detectors of both HEOS 1 and OGO 5 and the typical magnetic pulsation structure was at least 1 to 2 earth radii thick radially and was accompanied by irregular but distinct plasma distributions characteristic of neither the solar wind nor the magnetosheath.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlated whistler and electron plasma oscillation bursts detected on ISEE‐3
Charles F. Kennel,F. L. Scarf,Ferdinand V. Coroniti,R. W. Fredricks,D. A. Gurnett,Edward J. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: The ISEE-3 plasma wave instrument detects associated bursts of electron plasma oscillations and whistler mode waves at an average rate of event one every two days, with some trains of bursts lasting up to an hour as discussed by the authors.
