Solar wind-plasma interaction - The AMPTE solar wind plasma releases
Abstract
A summary is given of the most important effects observed during the 3 AMPTE solar wind ion releases. Some of these effects may be of relevance in comparable astrophysical situations when large amounts of matter are injected into an ambient magnetized plasma streaming with a velocity much larger than the sonic and Alfvenic Mach numbers. For detailed presentations the reader is referred to the original publications listed in the References.
