Observational Evidence for Fast Mode Periodic Small-scale Shocks: A New Type of Plasma Phenomenon

We show observational evidence for a new form of collisionless shock in interplanetary space near Mars, small-scale shocks with periodic spacings. Pickup of new ionized hydrogen atoms in a magnetic field aligned with the solar wind direction causes the generation of a magnetosonic wave train through...
