Field‐Aligned Currents and Auroral Precipitation During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract When sub‐Alfvénic (Alfvén Mach number MA< ${\mathrm{M}}_{A}< $1) plasmas impact Earth, Alfvén wings (AWs) develop. A Multiscale Atmosphere Geospace Environment simulation of the April 2023 storm, validated by Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment data, reveals the field‐aligned‐current (FAC) generation ...

Ion Escape From Degenerate Induced Magnetospheres: The Case of Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract When the cone angle of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) becomes small, induced magnetospheres of unmagnetized planets degenerate. Using hybrid simulations, we study ionospheric ion escape in a 4° cone angle case and compare it with the nominal 55° cone angle (Parker spiral) case. The total escape rate is 1.7×1025 $1.7\times 1{0}^{25}$ s−

A Population of Very-Hot Super-Earths in Multiple-Planet Systems Should be Uncovered by Kepler

, 2010
We simulate a Kepler-like observation of a theoretical exoplanet population and we show that the observed orbital period distribution of the Kepler giant planet candidates is best matched by an average stellar specific dissipation function Q_* in the ...

Phase Equilibria of Sub-Neptunes and Super-Earths

The Planetary Science Journal
We investigate the consequences of nonideal chemical interaction between silicate and overlying hydrogen-rich envelopes for rocky planets using basic tenets of phase equilibria.

Gaia Search for Stellar Companions of TESS Objects of Interest V

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 5, June 2025.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present the latest results of our ongoing multiplicity survey of (Community) TESS Objects of Interest, using astrometry and photometry from the latest data release of the ESA Gaia mission to detect stellar companions of these stars and to characterize their properties.

The WFC3 Galactic Bulge Treasury Program: Metallicity Estimates for the Stellar Population and Exoplanet Hosts

, 2010
We present new UV-to-IR stellar photometry of four low-extinction windows in the Galactic bulge, obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Formation of Close-in Neptunes around Low-mass Stars through Breaking Resonant Chains

The Astrophysical Journal
Conventional planet formation theories predict a paucity of massive planets around small stars, especially very low-mass (0.1−0.3 M _⊙ ) mid-to-late M dwarfs. Such tiny stars are expected to form planets of terrestrial sizes but not much bigger. However,

A Microphysics Model of Multicomponent Venus' Clouds With a High‐Accuracy Condensation Scheme

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Accurate modeling of the Venusian cloud structure remains challenging due to its complex microphysical properties. Condensation primarily determines the cloud particle size distribution within the various cloud layers. However, existing Venus microphysics models mainly use a full‐stationary bin scheme, which may be prone to numerical diffusion

A Tale of Dynamical Instabilities and Giant Impacts in the Exoplanet Radius Valley

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The size distribution of planets with radii between 1 R _⊕ and 4 R _⊕ peaks near 1.4 R _⊕ and 2.2 R _⊕ , with a dip around 1.8 R _⊕ —the so-called “radius valley.” Recent statistical analyses suggest that planets within this valley (1.5

Multifluid Equations for MHD

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract A set of magnetohydrodynamic equations is developed for multiple ion species in the limit of small Larmor radius. The derivation proceeds to explicitly calculate the Lorentz force resulting from the small ion drift velocities. The net effect is that in this limit all the ions move perpendicular to the magnetic field with the same E×B $\mathbf ...
