Saturn's inner magnetospheric convection pattern: Further evidence [PDF]
Observations of the radial locations of satellite absorption microsignatures in energetic particle data at Saturn have suggested the existence of an average convection pattern, fixed in local time, that is superimposed on the dominant near‐corotation of the inner magnetosphere.

Simulation study of near-Earth space disturbances: 1. magnetic storms
A magnetic storm is the world-wide geomagnetic disturbance taking place in near-Earth space environment, lasting for a few days. Geomagnetic fields can be depressed by ~ 1% on the ground for large magnetic storms.

Trapped energetic ions in Jupiter's inner magnetosphere [PDF]
Ion measurements made with the high‐flux telescope at ∼1 MeV/nucleon during the passage of the Ulysses spacecraft through Jupiter's inner magnetosphere are presented. Stable pancake‐shaped pitch angle distributions were observed for protons inside ∼17 RJ.

MHD Simulations of Magnetospheric Accretion, Ejection and Plasma-field Interaction
We review recent axisymmetric and three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical simulations of magnetospheric accretion, plasma-field interaction and outflows from the disk-magnetosphere boundary.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, conference ...

The anomalous x-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61: a neutron star with a gaseous fallback disk [PDF]
The recent detection of the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 4U 0142+61 in the mid infrared with the Spitzer Observatory (Wang, Chakrabarty & Kaplan 2006) constitutes the first instance for a disk around an AXP. We show, by analyzing earlier optical and near

Survey of low energy plasma electrons in Saturn's magnetosphere: Voyagers 1 and 2 [PDF]
The low energy plasma electron environment within Saturn's magnetosphere was surveyed by the Plasma Science Experiment (PLS) during the Voyager encounters with Saturn.

Introduction to the thematic series “Coupling of the magnetosphere–ionosphere system”
This thematic series contains 4 papers mostly presented at the 2016 AOGS meeting in Beijing. The four papers investigate four key regions in the magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling process: mid-tail magnetosphere, near-Earth magnetosphere, inner ...

Galactic cosmic rays on extrasolar Earth-like planets I. Cosmic ray flux
(abridged abstract) Theoretical arguments indicate that close-in terrestial exoplanets may have weak magnetic fields, especially in the case of planets more massive than Earth (super-Earths).

Kinetic-scale magnetic turbulence and finite Larmor radius effects at Mercury
We use a nonstationary generalization of the higher-order structure function technique to investigate statistical properties of the magnetic field fluctuations recorded by MESSENGER spacecraft during its first flyby (01/14/2008) through the near Mercury ...

A new look at spherical accretion in High Mass X-ray Binaries
Currently used model of spherical accretion onto a magnetized rotating neutron star encounters major difficulties in explaining the entry rate of accreting material into the stellar field and spin evolution of long-period X-ray pulsars.
