Electron Energy Partition across Interplanetary Shocks. I. Methodology and Data Product

Electron Energy Partition across Interplanetary Shocks. I. Methodology and Data Product

Analyses of 15,314 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) within ±2 hr of 52 interplanetary (IP) shocks observed by the Wind spacecraft near 1 au are introduced. The electron VDFs are fit to the sum of three model functions for the cold dense core, hot tenuous halo, and field...
