Evidence for Alfvén waves powering auroral arc via a static electric potential drop [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNatural light displays known as the aurora provide a captivating glimpse into the electromagnetic dynamics in space plasmas. Aurorae are not exclusive to Earth but also observed on celestial bodies including planets and even comets. Previous studies have

Penetration of MeV electrons into the mesosphere accompanying pulsating aurorae [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Pulsating aurorae (PsA) are caused by the intermittent precipitations of magnetospheric electrons (energies of a few keV to a few tens of keV) through wave-particle interactions, thereby depositing most of their energy at altitudes ~ 100 km. However, the

What the Upper Atmospheres of Giant Planets Reveal
Remote Sensing, 2022 The upper atmospheres of the Giant Planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are transition regions between meteorological layers and outer space. As a result of their exceptionally rarefied nature, they are highly sensitive and therefore revealing ...

Geoscience Data Journal, 2023 Solar Cycle 19 was probably the greatest solar cycle over the last four centuries and significantly disrupted the solar‐terrestrial environments with a number of solar eruptions and resultant geomagnetic storms. At its peak, the International Geophysical

A possible case of sporadic aurora observed at Rio de Janeiro
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 Being footprints of major magnetic storms and hence major solar eruptions, mid- to low-latitude aurorae have been one of the pathways to understand solar–terrestrial environments.

The far-ultraviolet main auroral emission at Jupiter – Part 1: Dawn–dusk brightness asymmetries [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2015 The main auroral emission at Jupiter generally appears as a quasi-closed curtain centered around the magnetic pole. This auroral feature, which accounts for approximately half of the total power emitted by the aurorae in the ultraviolet range, is ...

The presence of large sunspots near the central solar meridian at the times of major geomagnetic storms [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 A further study is made of the validity of a technique developed by the authors to identify historical occurrences of intense geomagnetic storms, which is based on finding approximately coincident observations of sunspots and aurorae recorded in East ...
