Simultaneous Observations of Electron Phase Space Density Variations in the Geostationary Orbit by GK2A, GOES‐16, and GOES‐17

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This study presents simultaneous measurements of electron phase space density (PSD) gradients in geostationary orbit using data from GK2A, GOES‐16, and GOES‐17. By leveraging a three‐satellite configuration, we provide statistical results of PSD gradient estimation in invariant coordinates.

Extending the Wave Telescope Technique to Larger Numbers of Spacecraft Obtaining Robust Spatial Power Spectra

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The wave telescope is an analysis technique for multi‐point spacecraft data that estimates power spectra in reciprocal position space (k $k$‐space). It has been used to reveal the spatial properties of waves and fluctuations in space plasmas. Originally designed as an analysis tool for 4 spacecraft constellations, new multi‐scale missions such

Energy Partition at a Collisionless Supercritical Quasi‐Parallel Shock

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Shocks in collisionless astrophysical plasmas redistribute some of the incident flow energy into both thermal and non‐thermal energy. Quantifying the partition of that energy amongst various particle species or their sub‐populations, and electromagnetic energy, represents a fundamental goal of shock physics.

Analysis of Field-Aligned Currents in the High-Altitude Nightside Auroral Region: Cluster Observation

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
In this paper we present analysis of current density when the Cluster spacecraft pass the nightside auroral region at about 4-5 RE from the center of Earth. The analysis is made when the inter-spacecraft separation is within 200 km, which allows all four

Frequency Extensions of Auroral Kilometric Radiation: The Key to Unlocking Earth's Radio Response to Substorms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) provides a sensitive probe of magnetospheric dynamics during substorms. We analyze an extended data set of AKR bursts observed by the WIND spacecraft to investigate how the frequency structure of AKR responds to substorm onset and evolution.

On the Freeze‐In Distance of Solar Wind Fluid Entropy Variability in the Corona

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strong correlation between solar wind entropy and the frozen‐in ion charge state ratio O7+/O6+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{7+}/{\mathrm{O}}^{6+}$ indicates that entropy variability on timescales of hours or longer is preserved from its solar source. This prompts the question: where in the solar atmosphere does this entropy variability come from, and at

Characterizing Ion‐Scale Fluctuations Around Dipolarization Fronts in Earth's Magnetotail

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Earth's magnetotail bursty bulk flows are often associated with dipolarizing magnetic flux bundles. The leading edges of such earthward‐moving flux bundles are called dipolarization fronts (DF). In the present study we investigate the characteristics of ion‐scale oscillations embedded inside DFs, using observations from NASA's ...

Multiple Reconnection X‐Lines at the Earth's Magnetopause in the Presence of Magnetosheath Flow

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection occurs continuously along long X‐lines at the Earth's magnetopause. The maximum magnetic shear model predicts the locations of these long X‐lines for a wide range of upstream solar wind conditions. One of the more perplexing observational results is that these X‐lines appear to be stationary, even in the presence of ...

Propagation Velocities and Growth Rates of Short Large‐Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) in the Foreshock of Earth

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Short Large‐Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) are believed to play important roles in the physics governing the formation of quasi‐parallel shocks. These isolated non‐linear structures, frequently observed in the foreshock, have been suggested to be building blocks for the shock and have been shown to drive shock reformation. In this work,

High altitude ion heating observed by the Cluster spacecraft

, 2011
This thesis deals with heating of outowing oxygen ions at high altitude above the polar cap using data from the Cluster spacecraft. oInospheric plasma may flow up from the ionosphere but at velocities which are low enough that the ions are still gravitationally bound. For the ions to overcome gravity, further acceleration is needed.
