Through the value of the polytropic index, which governs the polytropic relationship, we can identify the energy transfer in plasma systems. In this paper, we determine the polytropic index of proton plasma within an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME), which has been observed by three different spacecraft at ∼1 AU, each separated by ∼20∘ degrees in longitude during the analyzed observations. By performing this multi-spacecraft analysis, we provide evidence that the polytropic index does not vary significantly across the structure of the observed ICME. This may imply that the ICME evolution process is nearly coherent. Moreover, the polytropic index values we derive here can set boundary conditions in existing and future ICME evolution models. date: 2024-01-01 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asr.2023.09.010 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2093335 doi: 10.1016/j.asr.2023.09.010 lyricists_name: Nicolaou, Georgios lyricists_id: GNICO14 actors_name: Nicolaou, Georgios actors_id: GNICO14 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Advances in Space Research volume: 73 number: 1 pagerange: 1064-1072 issn: 0273-1177 citation: Ghag, K; Pathare, P; Raghav, A; Nicolaou, G; Shaikh, Z; Dhamane, O; Panchal, U; ...
