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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Two‐Dimensional Equilibrium Model of Planetary Magnetotail in Generalized Nonthermal Plasmas

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction may result in an elongated magnetotail with stored magnetic field energy. This study presents for the first time a family of asymptotic solutions for stretched two‐dimensional magnetotail equilibrium in generalized nonthermal plasmas, including the Kappa‐like and Maxwellian‐like velocity distributions with ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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,

Compression of Mercury's Dayside Magnetopause to the Surface: A Three‐Dimensional Model of Magnetospheric Structure and Dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We apply a hybrid model (kinetic ions, fluid electrons) to provide context for MErcury Surface Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) observations of Disappearing Dayside Magnetosphere (DDM) events at Mercury. Such events have been observed on four occasions and are caused by Coronal Mass Ejections completely removing the ...

Energy Conversion Pathways Inside Kelvin‐Helmholtz Vortices

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Energy transfer, cross‐scale coupling, and dissipation in astrophysical plasmas remain fundamental unresolved problems. The velocity‐shear–driven Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI), ubiquitous in plasmas, is a key multiscale mechanism enabling plasma mixing, particle energization and the solar wind–magnetosphere coupling, making it a critical ...
