Geological Mapping and Structural Analysis of the Western Half of the Eminescu Quadrangle (H09), Mercury

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present the results of the first geological mapping of the western half of the Eminescu Quadrangle (H09) on Mercury. Multiple data sets from the NASA MESSENGER Mercury Dual Imaging System instrument were used to produce a geological map covering the area between 72°E and 108°E longitude and 22.5°N and 22.5°S latitude.

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

Spectral‐Resolved Light at Night: TEMPO Observations and Background Correction

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) poses risks to public health and ecosystems. While long‐term remote sensing has tracked global nighttime light, spectrally resolved light at night (spectral light at night (SLAN)) data from geostationary orbit only became available with NASA's Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission. Its

Influence of Solar Sails on Magnetic Field Measurements in Space Plasmas

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Solar sail technology is ready to be deployed in a satellite mission carrying a science‐grade magnetometer. In preparation for such a mission, it is essential to characterize the interactions between the sail and the ambient plasma that could affect the magnetometer readings.

Effect of Unstable Water Flow on Grain Transport: Insights From Laboratory Experiments Under Reduced Atmospheric Pressure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Nowadays, Mars presents an environment characterized by low atmospheric pressure (∼6 mbar), which profoundly alters water‐driven surface processes known from Earth. Under these conditions, water rapidly boils, cools, and stabilizes near the triple point, often freezing, which strongly limits its ability to transport sediment.

Automatic Classification of Planetary Surfaces Using Autoencoders With Applications to Dunes in the North Polar Erg of Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The study of planetary surface processes has traditionally relied on the manual interpretation of spacecraft images. While manual image analysis methods are robust and well‐established, they become impractical when the volume of available data is large and may introduce observer bias.

Comparing Solar Structure Detection Methods in SDO/AIA Observations and the Application to Raw Uncalibrated Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in solar physics increasingly rely on automated identification of coronal structures using machine learning. Yet most studies emphasize scientific performance without evaluating feasibility for onboard deployment to prioritize downlink observations.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

Terrestrial Space Weather Protection Through Human‐Produced Mass‐Loading

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While humans become more reliant on Earth's space environment, the potential for significant harm from severe space weather continues to grow. As structures from the sun reach Earth's magnetosphere and space environment, they deposit energy that fuels geomagnetic storms.
