我们展示了 2007 年 8 月 12 日世界标准时间 0431 的午前弓形激波上游的“自发热流异常”(SHFA) 亚暴期间事件和宏观相互作用的时间历史 (THEMIS) 观测结果。虽然 SHFA 展示了用于识别热流异常 (HFA) 的高度加热和偏转的太阳风等离子体,但它并不是由形成 HFA 时调用的标准机制(即相互作用)产生的。行星际磁场(IMF)不连续性与弓激波的关系。我们利用 THEMIS A、B、C 和 D 观测来描述事件的演变,从原始 SHFA(显示出磁场强度和密度降低的区域,但几乎没有等离子体加热或流动偏转的证据)到下游发育良好的 SHFA。这些观察结果表明,SHFA 可以在不存在 IMF 不连续性的情况下生成,因此是 HFA 的新类别。
We present Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) observations of a “Spontaneous Hot Flow Anomaly” (SHFA) upstream from the prenoon bow shock at 0431 UT on 12 August 2007. Although the SHFA exhibited the greatly heated and deflected solar wind plasmas used to identify hot flow anomalies (HFAs), it did not result from the standard mechanism invoked for the formation of HFAs, namely the interaction of an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) discontinuity with the bow shock. We employ THEMIS A, B, C, and D observations to describe the evolution of the event from a proto‐SHFA exhibiting regions of depressed magnetic field strength and density but little evidence for plasma heating or flow deflection, to a well‐developed SHFA further downstream. These observations show that SHFA can be generated without the presence of an IMF discontinuity and are therefore a new category of HFAs.
