Magnetic loop behind an interplanetary shock: Voyager, Helios, and IMP 8 observations

Magnetic field and plasma data from five spacecraft (Voyager 1 and 2, Helios 1 and 2, and IMP 8) were used to analyze the flow behind an interplanetary shock. The shock was followed by a turbulent sheath in which there were large fluctuations in both the strength and the direction of the magnetic fi... View More
