This project investigates low Mach number plasma shocks in space, particularly those caused by solar wind interactions. By analyzing spacecraft data, it aims to enhance understanding of shock physics across the solar system.
Plasma shocks are ubiquitous phenomena in space plasmas, emerging when a supersonic and super-Alfvénic plasma flow encounters an obstacle.
The solar wind is such a flow with usually high Mach numbers.
Solar wind shocks occur due to two obstacles: magnetic fields of planets or much slower solar wind in front of it.
The Mach number dictates the shock strength: from strong (roughly > 5) to weak (1-4).Spacecraft in Earth’s environment allowed us to study the terrestrial shock as an example of a stro…
