Discontinuities in an anisotropic plasma and their identification in the solar wind
TLDR
The types of discontinuity which can occur in a magnetohydrodynamic fluid with anistotropic pressure are discussed in this article, and rules are given for the identification of the type of discontinuities together with equations to determine their orientation and velocity.About:

Two-dimensional full particle simulation of a perpendicular collisionless shock with a shock-rest-frame model
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional (2D) shock-rest-frame model for particle simulations is developed and the full kinetic dynamics of a perpendicular collisionless shock is examined by means of a 2D full particle simulation.

Flare-Produced Interplanetary Shock Waves
TL;DR: The occurrence of geomagnetic storms one to several days after some prominent solar flares has long been attributed to arrival at the earth of material ejected by the flare as mentioned in this paper, which is known as solar wind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure of magnetic reconnection in earth's magnetotail
TL;DR: A recent study of magnetic reconnection in the earth's magnetotail identified five events in which a pulse of heated electrons appeared near the end of an interval of fast tailward plasma flow as mentioned in this paper.

The Formation of Magnetic Depletions and Flux Annihilation Due to Reconnection in the Heliosheath
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present particle-in-cell simulations of the heliosheath that reflect the plasma environment along the Voyager 1 and 2 trajectories, specifically including unequal positive and negative azimuthal magnetic flux as seen in the Voyager data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of a field of MHD discontinuities in the solar wind should make possible the generation of ensembles of shocks and contact surfaces, which can be treated as shock wave or contact surface.

Micro-scale structures in the interplanetary medium
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and analyze the following micro-scale structures which were found in combined interplanetary magnetic field and plasma data obtained by the deep-space probe Pioneer-6: (1) Several types of simultaneous discontinuities in the magnetic fields and plasma parameters; (2) at least one clear example of a transitional region (D-sheet) associated with a plasma discontinuity; (3) other D-sheets which give evidence of magnetic field annihilation; inhomogeneous isothermal regions in which the square of the magnetic-field intensity is proportional to the
