Neutral Wind Dynamics in High‐Latitude Regions During the 17 March 2013 Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Neutral winds play a critical role in transporting mass, momentum, and energy throughout the upper atmosphere. During geomagnetic storms, momentum is transferred to the thermosphere primarily through ion–neutral collisions, along with other forces. This study investigates high‐latitude neutral wind dynamics during the 17 March 2013 storm using

The Length of Martian Crater Rays and Their Relation to Lunar Cold Spots

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Impact‐generated crater rays are well‐documented on the Moon, with most appearing as high‐albedo streaks extending radially from a crater's center. On Mars, however, crater rays are significantly rarer and discernible only through thermal imaging due to their lower thermal inertia compared to surrounding terrain.

Subsurface Structure and Morphometry of the Wrinkle Ridges in the Late Amazonian Volcanic Unit on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Wrinkle ridges are widespread compressional tectonic features on Mars and are important records of the planet's global contractional history. However, their formation, evolution and subsequent modification by other geologic processes remain poorly constrained.

The Role of Magmatic Styles in Planetary Thermal Evolution Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Previous studies that investigated the effects of magmatism on the interior dynamics, in particular for Earth‐sized planets, suggest that magmatism leads to more efficient mantle cooling. However, the extent to which different magmatic styles influence the thermal evolution of planets, and in particular smaller rocky bodies, has not yet been ...

Features in the Visible Spectra of the Enceladus Particle Plume and E Ring: Potential Evidence of Organic Materials and/or Missing Sub‐Micron Particles

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Visible spectra of the Enceladus particle plume and E ring contain evidence for a change in spectral slope around 0.5 μm. This feature can be seen in data obtained by both the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer and Imaging Science Subsystem onboard the Cassini Spacecraft, and is consistent with the slope change seen in the surface ...

Signal Data Stream Parameters Passing Ionospheric Communication Links With Fading Caused by Natural Clutter Phenomena

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This paper explores the impact of natural phenomena on signal data transmission across various ionospheric communication channels. The study focuses on three primary phenomena: meteor trails prevalent in the middle‐ and lower‐latitude ionosphere, bubble and plume structures observed around the equatorial ionosphere, and magnetic‐storm‐induced ...

Massive Rocky Planets May Suppress Deep Melting

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Melting properties of silicates are critical to understanding the thermal evolution of rocky planetary interiors. In the deep mantles of massive rocky planets, post‐post‐spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$ is potentially one of the most abundant mineral phases, yet its melting behavior remains unconstrained. Here, we determine the

Beyond the Electrostatic Approach: Numerical Simulations of Martian Ionospheric Irregularities

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract Numerical simulations play an essential role in the study of ionospheric irregularities. In the past few decades, electrostatic simulations have successfully simulated the nonlinear evolution of terrestrial ionospheric irregularities. However, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) observations reveal that the Martian ionospheric ...
