Coordinated interhemispheric SuperDARN radar observations of the ionospheric response to flux transfer events observed by the Cluster spacecraft at the high-latitude magnetopause [PDF]
At 10:00 UT on 14 February 2001, the quartet of ESA Cluster spacecraft were approaching the Northern Hemisphere high-latitude magnetopause in the post-noon sector on an outbound trajectory. At this time, the interplanetary magnetic field incident

Separation of Spacecraft Noise From Geomagnetic Field Observations Through Density-Based Cluster Analysis and Compressive Sensing. [PDF]
The use of magnetometers for space exploration is inhibited by magnetic noise generated by spacecraft electrical systems. Mechanical booms are traditionally used to extend magnetometers away from noise sources.

Global MHD simulation of flux transfer events at the high-latitude magnetopause observed by the cluster spacecraft and the SuperDARN radar system [PDF]
A global magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulation is used to study the large-scale structure and formation location of flux transfer events (FTEs) in synergy with in situ spacecraft and ground-based observations. During the main period of interest on the

Artificial spacecraft in hybrid simulations of the quasi-parallel Earth's bow shock: analysis of time series versus spatial profiles and a separation strategy for Cluster [PDF]
We construct artificial "software" spacecraft consisting of magnetometers and 3D thermal and energetic ion detectors. Four such spacecraft are "flown" through a 1D simulation of a quasi-parallel shock. We analyze the resulting time

Detection of a plasmaspheric wind in the Earth's magnetosphere by the Cluster spacecraft [PDF]
. Plumes, forming at the plasmapause and released outwards, constitute a well-established mode for plasmaspheric material release to the Earth's magnetosphere. They are associated to active periods and the related electric field change.
