Foreshock Ion Properties at Earth's Bow Shock: Dependence on Upstream Conditions and Shock Geometry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Solar wind ion reflection at collisionless shocks regulates foreshock plasma dynamics, yet the quantitative dependence of foreshock ion properties on upstream and shock‐related parameters remains unclear, causing difficulties in predicting foreshock disturbances.

The Uniturbulence and Alfvén Wave Solar Model (UAWSoM) in MPI-AMRVAC

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The coronal heating problem and the generation of the solar wind remain fundamental challenges in solar physics. While approaches based on, e.g., the Alfvén Wave Solar Model (AWSoM) have proven highly successful in reproducing the large-scale ...

Second-order perturbations in Alfvén waves in cold plasma approximation

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2019
The second-order amplitude perturbations driven by Alfvén waves are studied. Equations for such second-order perturbations are derived and their solutions are found. The second-order perturbations are shown to be generated by the magnetic pressure of the

On the Escape of Low-frequency Waves from Magnetospheres of Neutron Stars

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the nonlinear decay of the fast magnetosonic (fms) into the Alfvén waves in relativistic force-free magnetohydrodynamics. The work has been motivated by models of pulsar radio emission and fast radio bursts (FRBs), in which the emission is ...

Fundamental Poloidal Wave Event Extending From Midnight to Dawn

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fundamental poloidal (P1) waves are a class of magnetospheric standing Alfvén waves characterized by field line oscillations in the meridional plane. P1 waves are infrequently excited in the ring current region and are believed to be the source of giant pulsations (Pgs) observed on the ground. Pgs are mostly detected on the morning side with a

Alfvénic Poynting Flux Characterized by a Substorm‐SMC Cycle and Ionospheric Influence

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic substorms are fundamental processes of explosive geospace energy release within the Earth's magnetotail, which are usually divided into three phases: the growth phase, the expansion phase, and the recovery phase. Large‐scale electromagnetic energy transport during a geomagnetic substorm is in the form of Alfvén waves, transmitting ...

TRACERS Small‐Scale Field‐Aligned Currents and Intense GPS Amplitude and Phase Scintillations in the Nightside Auroral Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We present conjugate observations of ionospheric small‐scale magnetic perturbations (dB) $(dB)$ and GPS scintillations from the Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) and the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) during a storm‐time substorm on 9 August 2025 in the nightside auroral region ...

MMS Observations of the Energetic Particles Within Kelvin‐Helmholtz Waves at the Boundary of the 10 May 2024 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.

Viscous and Magnetic Boundary Layers at the Top of the Core in Geodynamo Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We investigate the boundary layer at the top of the Earth's core, which acts as a filter between the interior of the core and its surface, where models built from geomagnetic data are derived. We rely on no‐slip convective geodynamo numerical simulations calculated for a low viscosity fluid, with Ekman numbers E=10−6 $E=1{0}^{-6}$ and E=10−7 ...

Quasi‐Periodic X‐Ray Variations at BARREL: Role of Electron Precipitation and Solar Wind Driving

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Balloon Array for Radiation belt Relativistic Electron Losses (BARREL) mission was designed to study the loss of radiation belt electrons to the upper atmosphere. Previous analysis of data from balloon pairs showed that electron precipitation events manifest coherent quasi‐periodic variations (with periodicity on the order of 10–60 min ...
