Drivers of Magnetic Field Amplification at Oblique Shocks: In Situ Observations
Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous structures throughout the Universe. Shock waves in space and astrophysical plasmas convert the energy of a fast-flowing plasma to other forms of energy, including thermal and magnetic energies. Plasma turbulence and high-amplitude electric and magnetic fluctuation...
