  1. 1. Statistics of Electric and Magnetic Fields at the Earth’s Bow Shock

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Tsz-Kiu Wong-Chan; [2023]
    Keywords : MMS; Earth’s bow shock; Collisionless shocks; Correlation study; statistics; Space; Space plasma physics; MMS; Jordens bogchock; Kollisionsfria chocker; Korrelationsstudie; Statistik; Rymd; Rymdplasmafysik;

    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

  3. 2. Study and characterization of energetic particles from the solar wind entering the magnetosheath region

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Farid Hedayati; [2022]
    Keywords : Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission MMS ; Magnetosheath classification; Particles; Time series analysis; Space plasma physics;

    Abstract : The emphasis of the thesis is on understanding how the high-energy particles of the foreshock are transmitted into the magnetosheath and how this process can be used to specify the conditions upstream of the bow shock with the help of local magnetosheath measurements. In this study, through analyzing the data from the MMS satellites, I try to draw a connection between the flux and wind direction related to Earth’s bow shock. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of inductive electric fields in Earth’s magnetotail using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) multipoint measurements

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Marco Guerra; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mutual interaction between the solar wind and the geomagnetic field generates the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is characterized by many large-scale perturbations, such as substorms, which are responsible for variations in the magnetic field. READ MORE

  5. 4. Automatic SLAMS detection and magnetospheric classification in MMS data

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Carl Foghammar Nömtak; [2020]
    Keywords : Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures SLAMS ; Algorithm design; Magnetospheric classification; Time series analysis; Space plasma physics; Korta magnetiska strukturer med hög amplitud SLAMS ; Algoritmdesign; Magnetosfärsklassificering; Tidsseriesanalys; Rymdplasmafysik;

    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

  6. 5. Geoeffectiveness of Magnetosheath Jets

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Linus Norenius; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this report we present spacecraft and ground-based observations of magnetosheath jets impacting the magnetosphere, both as a case study and a statistical study. In the case study, jets were detected in the magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission, MMS. READ MORE
