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:

Modified jump conditions for anisotropic temperature plasmas at parallel shocks
M. Siewert,Hans-Jörg Fahr +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the parallel pressure-anisotropic MHD shock with an emphasis on the downstream stability of the plasma with respect to the firehose instability and show that the system will be also unstable when considering other plasma instabilities.

Pressure Anisotropies Mapped through the Solar Wind Termination Shock
Hans-Jörg Fahr,Mark Siewert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical study of the physics at astrophysical shocks is presented, starting from Rankine-Hugoniot-type magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shock relations generalized by momentum and energy flows of self-induced turbulence.

Solar Wind Reconnection Exhausts in the Inner Heliosphere Observed by Helios and Detected via Machine Learning
TL;DR: In this article, a machine learning approach was proposed to detect magnetic reconnection events in the solar wind based on machine learning, and applied to Helios data in the inner heliosphere.

The Rapid Variability of Electric Field Waves within and near interplanetary shock ramps: STEREO Observations
Zohara A. Cohen,Cynthia A Cattell,Aaron Breneman,L. Davis,P. Grul,Kris Kersten,Lynn B. Wilson,John Wygant +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present STEREO observations within 1500 proton gyroradii of 12 interplanetary shocks, with long-duration burst mode electric field acquisition by S/WAVES enabling observation of the evolution of waves throughout the entire ramp of interplan planetary shocks.

Electrodynamics of continuous media
TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of electromagnetic waves and X-ray diffraction of X rays in crystals are discussed. But they do not consider the effects of superconductivity on superconducting conductors.

Discontinuities in the solar wind
D. S. Colburn,Charles P. Sonett +1 more
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
