Abstract The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Explorer (SAMPEX) mission launched in July 1992 was the first NASA “Small Explorer” project. It had the goal to show how space missions could be developed much more rapidly than had become the situation in the 1980s and 1990s.

Comment on "Solar Wind and Heavy Ion Properties of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections" by M.J.Owens [PDF]
A recent paper by Owens (2018) presents a statistical analysis of the properties of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and variations in their compositions and ion charge-state signatures using data from the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft. However, the article contains several serious flaws, which we will discuss here.

Redefining the boundaries of interplanetary coronal mass ejections from observations at the ecliptic plane [PDF]
On 2015 January 6-7, an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) was observed at L1. This event, which can be associated with a weak and slow coronal mass ejection, allows us to discuss on the differences between the boundaries of the magnetic cloud and the compositional boundaries.

Abstract Traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) driven by a large number of internal and external sources are detectable with dense networks of ground‐based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers' measurements of total electron content (TEC).

Hemispheric Distribution of Halo Coronal Mass Ejection Source Locations
The hemispheric asymmetry of solar activity is one of the essential physical consequences of the interior dynamo process. However, the hemispheric distribution of halo coronal mass ejection (HCME) source locations has not been investigated in detail ...

Abstract Upcoming imaging missions—NASA's LEXI and ESA/CAS's SMILE—will target solar wind charge exchange X‐ray (SWCX) emission from Earth's magnetosheath. This emission is generated by highly charged ions colliding with neutrals in Earth's exosphere.

Source region of the 2003 November 18 CME that led to the strongest magnetic storm of cycle 23 [PDF]
The super-storm of November 20, 2003 was associated with a high speed coronal mass ejection which originated in the NOAA AR 10501 on November 18. This coronal mass ejection had severe terrestrial consequences leading to a geomagnetic storm with DST index of -472 nT, the strongest of the current solar cycle.

Severe Distortion of the Apparent Resistivity Induced by the Super Geomagnetic Storm in May 2024
Abstract The potential hazard of geomagnetically induced current (GIC) in metallic pipelines caused by space weather events is a widely discussed topic. On 10–11 May 2024, a super geomagnetic storm with Kp = 9 comparable to the Halloween event in 2003 occurred. The storm induced GIC caused severe distortion in apparent resistivity is a novel phenomenon.

Solar Activity: Triennial Report of IAU Commission 10 (2006-2009) [PDF]
Commission 10 deals with solar activity in all of its forms, ranging from the smallest nanoflares to the largest coronal mass ejections. This report reviews scientific progress over the roughly two-year period ending in the middle of 2008. This has been an exciting time in solar physics, highlighted by the launches of the Hinode and STEREO missions ...

Suzaku detection of enigmatic geocoronal solar wind charge exchange event associated with coronal mass ejection [PDF]
Suzaku detected an enhancement of soft X-ray background associated with solar eruptions on 2013 April 14-15. The solar eruptions were accompanied by an M6.5 solar flare and a coronal mass ejection with magnetic flux ropes. The enhanced soft X-ray background showed a slight variation in half a day and then a clear one in a few hours. The former spectrum
