Interplanetary Transients Through Multi-Point and Multi-Spacecraft Measurements: Current Status and Future Venues
Interplanetary Transients Through Multi-Point and Multi-Spacecraft Measurements: Current Status and Future Venues
Session ID#: 160733
Session Description:
Interplanetary transients, such as coronal mass ejections, interplanetary shocks, and stream interaction regions have primarily been analyzed using single-spacecraft measurements to date. Investigations using multiple points or multiple spacecraft have relied primarily on random conjunctions between Heliophysics (and sometimes Planetary) missions. These rare occurrences have revealed a great deal about the fundamental structure and evolution of these transients, from their large-scale nature to significant changes in their properties over various scales. The recent launches of Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe, and BepiColombo as well as the return towards the Sun-Earth line of STEREO-A is enabling new dedicated case studies, while planetary missions in the previous solar cycle allow for some statistical investigations of these transient properties. This session aims to explore the latest research on CMEs, shocks, and SIRs using multi-spacecraft measurements and to shed light on the importance of having dedicated multi-point missions to study interplanetary transients. We solicit contributions based on theoretical models, in-situ analysis, numerical simulations that use, reproduce or predict multi-spacecraft measurements, and mission concepts as well as a combination of methods.
