Two-fluid temperature-dependent relativistic waves in magnetized streaming pair plasmas [PDF]
, 2010 A relativistic two-fluid temperature-dependent approach for a streaming magnetized pair plasma is considered. Such a scenario corresponds to secondary plasmas created at the polar caps of pulsar magnetospheres.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Mars directly interacts with the solar wind and hosts a complex plasma‐wave environment. Using MAVEN observations, we identify an event in the dusk‐side Martian magnetosheath where strongly compressive sub‐cyclotron kinetic‐scale fluctuations coexist with second‐harmonic proton cyclotron waves (PCWs).

Fine-scale cavitation of ionospheric plasma caused by inertial Alfvén wave ponderomotive force [PDF]
, 1998 Deep, very narrow magnetic-field-aligned density depletions were observed by the Freja spacecraft during auroral oval crossings. These cavities have perpendicular width of the order of the electron skin depth c/ωpe and are associated with low-frequency ...

Evolution of Magnetospheric Boundary Layers Under the 10 May 2024 ICME Impact
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract On 10 May 2024, an interplanetary coronal mass ejection‐driven shock impacted the dayside magnetopause, compressing it to ∼5 RE. A northward interplanetary magnetic field suppressed dayside reconnection and allowed a clear investigation of the magnetosphere response.

Alfvén Wave Conversion to Low Frequency Fast Magnetosonic Waves in Magnetar Magnetospheres
The Astrophysical JournalRapid shear motion of magnetar crust can launch Alfvén waves into the magnetosphere. The dissipation of the Alfvén waves has been theorized to power the X-ray bursts characteristic of magnetars.

Auroral vortex street formed by the magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling instability [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2015 By performing three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations including Alfvén eigenmode perturbations most unstable to the ionospheric feedback effects, we examined the auroral vortex street that often appears just before substorm onset.

Coupling the solar surface and the corona: coronal rotation, Alfv\'en wave-driven polar plumes
, 2013 The dynamical response of the solar corona to surface and sub-surface perturbations depends on the chromospheric stratification, and specifically on how efficiently these layers reflect or transmit incoming Alfv\'en waves.

Quasi-periodic modulation of solar and stellar flaring emission by magnetohydrodynamic oscillations in a nearby loop [PDF]
, 2006 We propose a new model for quasi-periodic modulation of solar and stellar flaring emission. Fast magnetoacoustic oscillations of a non-flaring loop can interact with a nearby flaring active region.
