Occurrence rate of ultra-low frequency waves in the foreshock of Mercury increases with heliocentric distance
Low frequency waves are ubiquitous in space plasmas. Here, the authors show that the occurrence rate of ultra-low frequency waves associated with backstreaming ions in the Hermean foreshock increases with Mercury’s heliocentric distance.
