Dayside transients, such as hot flow anomalies, foreshock bubbles, magnetosheath jets, flux
transfer events, and surface waves, are frequently observed upstream from the bow shock …

The present paper comprises a review of kinetic instabilities that may be operative in the
solar wind, and how they influence the dynamics thereof. The review is limited to collective …

The proton temperature anisotropy in the solar wind is known to be constrained by the
theoretical thresholds for pressure-anisotropy-driven instabilities. Here, we use …

The proton resonant firehose instability may arise in collisionless plasmas in which the
proton velocity distribution is approximately bi‐Maxwellian with T∥ p/T⊥ p> 1, where⊥ …

We have studied 38 low‐latitude, dayside (0800‐1600 LT) magnetopause crossings by the
AMPTE/IRM satellite to investigate the variations of key plasma parameters and the …

If the electron distribution function is approximately bi‐Maxwellian with T⊥/T‖> 1, where
the subscript symbols denote directions perpendicular and parallel to the background …

The terrestrial magnetosheath contains a rich variety of low-frequency (≲ proton
gyrofrequency) fluctuations. Kinetic and fluid-like processes at the bow shock, within the …

The Spatio Temporal Analysis of Field Fluctuations (STAFF) experiment is one of the five
experiments, which constitute the Cluster Wave Experiment Consortium (WEC). STAFF …

Mirror modes are large amplitude nonpropagating compressive structures frequently
observed in the magnetosheath. They appear in the form of quasi‐sinusoidal oscillations in …
