Coronal heating and wind acceleration by nonlinear Alfvén waves – global simulations with gravity, radiation, and conduction [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2008 We review our recent results of global one-dimensional (1-D) MHD simulations for the acceleration of solar and stellar winds. We impose transverse photospheric motions corresponding to the granulations, which generate outgoing Alfvén waves.

Reconnection Onset in Overstretched Thin Current Sheets: 3‐D Kinetic Picture
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Evolution of the magnetotail equilibrium, whose current density iso‐contours are stretched beyond the magnetic field lines due to small ion anisotropy and agyrotropic effects on the scales of the thermal ion gyroradius (the so‐called overstretched thin current sheet) is considered using 3‐D explicit particle‐in‐cell simulations.

Vlasov simulation of kinetic shear Alfven waves [PDF]
, 2004 The treatment of kinetic shear Alfven waves in homogeneous magnetized plasmas by means of Vlasov simulation is examined. To this end, the driftkinetic version of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations is solved via various numerical schemes, all employing a grid ...

Exploring Jupiter's Mid‐Latitude Dusk Magnetopause: The Impact of Magnetic Reconnection
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract The Juno mission has elucidated magnetosphere processes, structure, and dynamics via multi‐instrument plasma and magnetic field observations. In this study, these instruments are used to identify magnetic reconnection during the Juno extended mission from a survey of 490 magnetopause crossings at the mid‐latitude southern dusk magnetopause ...

LARGE AMPLITUDE ALFVÉN WAVES IN MAGNETOHYDRYNAMICS CONSIDERING INERTIAL TERMS IN THE OHM’S LAW
Anales (Asociación Física Argentina)Incompressible Alfvén waves have been detected in a variety of space and astrophysical plasmas. Some of these plasmas can be studied within the framework of magnetohydrodynamics with extended conditions.

Alfvén waves in the magnetosphere generated by shock wave/plasmapause interaction
Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2019 We study Alfvén waves generated in the magnetosphere during the passage of an interplanetary shock wave. After shock wave passage, the oscillations with typical Alfvén wave dispersion have been detected in spacecraft observations inside the magnetosphere.

Convective Amplification of Ionospheric Feedback by a Finite‐Duration Inertial Alfvén‐Wave Source
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract We investigate the ionospheric feedback instability (IFI) driven by a finite‐duration localized source of inertial Alfvén waves. Wave‐excited conductance perturbations undergo Pedersen mobility drift in the convection and wave electric fields and are amplified.

Discrete Alfvén Waves in Solar Prominences: Preliminary Studies
Brazilian Journal of Geophysics, 1990 It is shown that the Discrete Alfvén wave can explain the natural oscillations of solar prominences by considering the existence of a current flow.
