AbstractThe Rosetta–Philae mission to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in 2014 will provide a unique opportunity to observe the variable nature of the interaction of a comet with the solar radiation and the solar wind, as the comet approaches the Sun. In this short paper we will focus on the varying global structure of the cometary plasma environment. Specifically we make predictions on the varying locations of the two basic transitions in the global, contaminated solar wind flow toward the comet: the outer bow shock and the ionopause.

The Mean

<p>Particle reflection at the bow shock provides a source of free energy to drive local instabilities and turbulence within the foreshock. A variety of low-frequency fluctuations (up to 16 mHz) results from the interactions of back-streaming ions with the incoming solar wind flow. We report observations of low-frequency magnetosonic waves observed during intervals of a radial interplanetary magnetic field in the foreshock. A case study of simultaneous dual THEMIS spacecraft observations of asymmetrical fluctuations in V<sub>y</sub> is complemented by a statistical study of similar solar wind deflections in the foreshock.  Our moment calculations do not include the reflected particles as well as heavier ions, revealed the modulation of a solar wind core and deflection of the solar wind in the foreshock. This effect decreases with the distance from the bow shock. We conclude that large asymmetrical Vy velocity component fluctuations are typical for the foreshock formed by the radial IMF. The asymmetry of fluctuations changes the mean direction of the incoming solar wind flow within the foreshock leading to preconditioning prior to its encounter with the bow shock.</p>
