Nowcasting Solar Energetic Particle Events for Mars Missions
Abstract In addition to the omnipresent Galactic Cosmic Rays, sudden Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events present considerable health hazards for manned space missions. These events not only contribute to an increased long‐term cancer risk, but can, in extreme cases, cause acute radiation syndromes.

Abstract Impact‐generated hydrothermal systems and postimpact crater lake systems are well‐documented geological phenomena; however, evidence of hydrothermal venting into impact crater lake systems has rarely been reported. We investigated the well‐preserved contact between hydrothermally altered impact melt‐bearing breccia (outer/surficial suevite ...

Abstract Terrestrial gamma‐ray flashes (TGFs) are short bursts of intense gamma radiation associated with lightning discharges. Although thousands of TGFs have been observed from space, TGFs detected at ground level, known as downward TGFs, are still very limited, and their relationship with lightning discharge processes remains elusive. Here we report

Cosmic Rays and the Askaryan Effect Reveal Subsurface Structure and Buried Ice on the Moon
Abstract We present the first full‐wavelength numerical simulations of the electric field generated by cosmic ray impacts into the Moon. Billions of cosmic rays fall onto the Moon every year. Ultra‐high energy cosmic ray impacts produce secondary particle cascades within the regolith and subsequent coherent, wide‐bandwidth, linearly‐polarized radio ...

Abstract The medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) can be excited by many sources. Among those magnetic reconnection has been proposed as a potential driver for dayside MSTIDs, but direct evidence has been limited. Using ground‐based radar data from the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network on 14 December 2012, we observed quasi‐periodic ...

New Insights on the High Reconnection Rate and the Diminishment of Ion Outflow
Abstract The recently discovered electron‐only reconnection has abnormal features like lack of ion outflows and high reconnection rates. Using particle‐in‐cell simulations, we investigate their physical mechanisms. The reconnection rate, when normalized by ion parameters (Ri ${R}_{i}$), may appear anomalously high, whereas that normalized by electron ...

Abstract Kinetic‐scale magnetic holes (KSMHs) are ubiquitous quasi‐steady magnetic structures and vital energy conversion channels in various space plasmas, for example, terrestrial foreshock and magnetopause reconnection region. However, the energy conversion mechanism within KSMHs remains unclear.

Hall Scale in the Earth's Magnetosphere and Magnetospheric Substorm
Abstract We investigate the contribution of the Hall term on the generalized Ohm's law in magnetospheric plasmas. In particular, we focus on its role in processes that lead to the formation of substorm perturbations deep inside the magnetosphere. Using data from the THEMIS mission, we calculate the average Hall length LHall $\left({L}_{\text{Hall ...
