Analyzing Geomagnetic Data From the Dusheti Observatory During the Intense Magnetic Storms of 2024

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic storms, intense disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere, pose risks to both technology and human activity in space. In this study, we analyzed geomagnetic field measurements from the Dusheti Observatory in Georgia during the intense geomagnetic storms of March 3, March 24, and 11 May 2024.

On the Possibility of Driving the Electron Flux Probabilistic Models by the AE Index

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We present the new probabilistic model of the electron fluxes designed to assess the risks of the spacecraft surface charging for missions with near‐equatorial orbits in the inner magnetosphere. It is a second model developed within a frame of the European Space Agency's activity “Plasma Environment Modeling in the Earth's Magnetosphere ...

Plasma in Astrophysics

Physica Scripta, 1982
Two examples of plasma phenomena of importance to astrophysics are reviewed. These are examples where astrophysical understanding hinges on further progress in plasma physics understanding. The two examples are magnetic reconnection and the collisionless interaction between a population of energetic particles and a cooler gas or plasma, in particular ...

Extreme Heating of Minor Ions in Imbalanced Solar-wind Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal
Minor ions in the solar corona are heated to extreme temperatures, far in excess of those of the electrons and protons that comprise the bulk of the plasma.

Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Coupling in the Northern Polar Region During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Superstorm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The May 2024 superstorm, as the most intense geomagnetic storm since 2003, caused a variety of disturbances in the magnetosphere‐ionosphere‐thermosphere system. This study investigates the long‐lasting electron density depletion in the polar region and the underlying ionosphere‐thermosphere coupling, based on a comprehensive set of ...

Global Morphology of Chorus Waves in the Outer Radiation Belt and the Effect of Geomagnetic Activity and fpe ${f}_{pe}$/fce ${f}_{ce}$

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Whistler‐mode chorus waves play a key role in driving radiation belt dynamics by enabling both acceleration of electrons to relativistic energies as well as their loss into the atmosphere via pitch‐angle scattering. The ratio between the electron plasma frequency (fpe ${f}_{pe}$) and the electron gyrofrequency (fce ${f}_{ce}$) significantly ...

The Twisting of Radio Waves in a Randomly Inhomogeneous Plasma

The Astrophysical Journal
Polarization of electromagnetic waves carries a large amount of information about their astrophysical emitters and the media they passed through, and hence is crucial in various aspects of astronomy.

Differentiating Plumes and Local Torus Segments of Enceladus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Enceladus's south polar plumes and their surrounding torus segments (local plasma regions formed by plume material diffusion) are key to understanding its magnetospheric interaction; however, clear observational criteria to distinguish them remain lacking.

Ozone Production by Electron Irradiation of Regolith Ice: Laboratory Study for the Icy Moons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We irradiate fine‐grained regolith pure water ice in ultra high vacuum with 5keV $5\,\text{keV}$ and 10keV $10\,\text{keV}$ electrons to study the radiolysis of water ice. The ice regolith is designed to closely mimic the physical characteristics of the surfaces of the icy moons of the Solar System.
