1. The connection between the bow shock at Mercury and the interplanetary magnetic field
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : As the solar wind reaches Mercury it interacts with the planet’s magnetic field slowing down, forming a bow shock in front of the planet and diverting the flow around it. Along with the solar wind comes the interplanetary magnetic field, an extension of the sun’s magnetic field. READ MORE

2. Identifying Fundamental Characteristics of Shock Nonstationarity using MMS Measurements : Identifying and Distinguishing Non-stationary Behaviour Through the Magnetic Field Gradient in Quasi-perpendicular Shocks
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Collisionless shocks are widespread phenomena in the universe, and understanding the mechanisms behind their energy dissipation, with a rare number of collisions between particles, remains a significant unresolved question. The Earth’s bow shock provides an excellent opportunity to study this phenomena in situ. READ MORE

3. Statistics of Electric and Magnetic Fields at the Earth’s Bow Shock
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : The interaction between the solar wind and Earth’s magnetic field creates the Earth’s bow shock. It is an ideal region for space probes like MMS, THEMIS or Clusters to study the collisionless shock phenomenon in space plasma. READ MORE

4. Automatic SLAMS detection and magnetospheric classification in MMS data
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) have been observedby spacecraft near Earth’s quasi-parallel bow shock. They arecharacterized by a short and sudden increase of the magnetic field,usually by a factor of 2 or more. READ MORE

5. Turbulence at MHD and sub-ion scales in the magnetosheath of Saturn : a comparative study between quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel bow shocks using in-situ Cassini data
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, UppsalaavdelningenAbstract : The purpose of this project is to investigate the spectral properties of turbulence in the magnetosheath of Saturn, using in-situ magnetic field measurements from the Cassini spacecraft. According to models of incompressible, turbulent fluids, the energy spectrum in the inertial range scales as the frequency to the power of -5/3, which has been observed in the near-Earth Solar wind but not in the Terrestrial magnetosheath unless close to the magnetopause.
