Interplanetary Magnetic Field By Controlled Alfvén Wings at Earth During an Encounter of a Coronal Mass Ejection

Abstract On 24 April 2023, an ICME reached Earth's orbit. The solar wind density dropped to 0.3 amu/cc while the IMF strength was about 25 nT. As a result, the solar wind flow transitions to a sub‐Alfvénic state with an Alfvén Mach number of 0.4. We carry out global magnetohydrodynamic simulati...
