Spatial Variability and Correlation Lengths Within Stream Interaction Regions at 1 au: Comparison Between ACE and Wind

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Understanding the spatial variability and correlation lengths throughout Stream Interaction Regions (SIRs) has importance both for fundamentally understanding the structuring of the solar wind and SIRs and for space weather operations. SIR observations from Advanced Composition Explorer and Wind are utilized to characterize the spatial ...

Gravity Modeling of Lunar Lava Tubes: Insights From a Terrestrial Analog

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The exploration of lunar lava tubes can address challenges of human habitation on the Moon by identifying natural shelters against radiation, temperature extremes, and micrometeoroid impacts. This study shows the feasibility of detecting lunar lava tubes with gravimetry using Ape Cave in Washington State, USA, as a terrestrial analog. Ape Cave'

Field‐Aligned Currents During High‐Intensity Long‐Duration Continuous Auroral Electrojet Activity Events: A Statistical Study

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Enhanced solar wind‐magnetosphere energy coupling during geomagnetic disturbances leads to strong geomagnetic field‐aligned currents (FACs). While variations of FACs during geomagnetic storms and substorms have been well explored, there is no systematic study of FACs during high‐intensity long‐duration continuous auroral electrojet activities (

Field‐Aligned Currents During High‐Intensity Long‐Duration Continuous Auroral Electrojet Activity Events: Seasonal Dependences

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract High‐intensity long‐duration continuous auroral electrojet activity (HILDCAA) events caused by interplanetary Alfvén waves are associated with global‐scale convection events. HILDCAAs occur primarily during the solar cycle declining phase (Hajra et al., 2013, https://doi.org/10.1002/jgra.50530). A statistical study is conducted for 42 HILDCAAs

A Note on the Observational Evidence for the Existence of Event Horizons in Astrophysical Black Hole Candidates

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
Black holes have the peculiar and intriguing property of having an event horizon, a one-way membrane causally separating their internal region from the rest of the Universe.

Solar Flare Activity, 1937–2024: Introducing the New Hemispheric Solar Flare Index (hSFI) in the Context of 2024's Major Solar Storm Events

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A new daily composite of the solar flare index (SFI) and the hemispherically‐resolved versions (hSFI) are presented for 1937 to 2024. The data set confirms that the northern hemisphere (NH) dominated solar flare activity during Solar Cycles 17 to 21, but that the southern hemisphere has dominated from Solar Cycle 22 to present.

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in a Magnetic Reconnection Exhaust at Earth's Magnetopause

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Plasma waves can initiate, regulate, or reflect magnetic reconnection efficiently converting magnetic energy into plasma energy. While waves ranging from below the ion cyclotron frequency to above the electron plasma frequency are commonly observed near reconnection sites, electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves—frequent in other plasma ...

Observation of a Knotted Electron Diffusion Region in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that alters the magnetic field topology and releases magnetic energy. Most numerical simulations and spacecraft observations assume a two‐dimensional diffusion region, with the electron diffusion region (EDR) embedded in the same plane as the ion diffusion region (IDR) and a uniform guide ...
