Interplanetary magnetic field control of dayside transient event occurrence and motion in the ionosphere and magnetosphere [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2004
The pressure pulse model for dayside transient ionospheric events predicts dawnward moving events at and prior to local noon during periods of spiral interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation, but duskward moving events at and after local noon ...

Collisionless Shocks: Contemporary State After Three Quarters of a Century of Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The collisionless shock research started in the late 1950s. Since then, plenty of data have been accumulated due to the large number of missions in the heliosphere, providing in situ measurements of the fields and particles. The quality of these measurements has vastly improved, especially in the last two decades.

A Fokker–Planck Framework for Studying the Variability of the Magnetic Field Direction in the Alfvénic Streams of the Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Turbulent rotations of the magnetic field vector are observed in the Alfvénic streams of the solar wind where the magnetic field strength remains close to a constant. They can lead to reversals of the radial magnetic field component or switchbacks. It is

Controls on Solar Wind Entry Identified Through Wind–ACE Heavy‐Ion Diagnostics

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Solar wind (SW) entry into the magnetosphere occurs through several mechanisms, but their dependence on the properties of different ion species is unknown. We compare measurements from Wind‐STICS (magnetosphere) with ACE‐SWICS (L1) to test for any preferential entry between He2+ and SW heavy ions.

A Global Magnetic Topology Model for Magnetic Clouds. V

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetic clouds (MCs) are large-scale magnetic structures in the solar wind whose internal physical processes remain only partially understood. In this work, we present an extended analytical model of MCs that simultaneously describes the magnetic field,

Probing the magnetic topology of coronal mass ejections by means of Ulysses/HI-SCALE energetic particle observations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2000
In this work, solar flare energetic particle fluxes (Ee ≥ 42 keV) observed by the HI-SCALE instrument onboard Ulysses, a spacecraft that is probing the heliosphere in 3-D, are utilized as diagnostics of the large-scale structure and topology of

Variations of Mid‐Magnetotail Magnetic Pressure During Substorms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is commonly observed in the mid‐tail plasma sheet during substorms, the mechanism behind this spatial preference, however, remains unsolved. This study focuses on magnetic pressure evolution within this critical region during substorms.

Modelling interplanetary CMEs using magnetohydrodynamic simulations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2002
The dynamics of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) are discussed from the viewpoint of numerical modelling. Hydrodynamic models are shown to give a good zero-order picture of the plasma properties of ICMEs, but they cannot model the ...

Post‐Sunset Merging of Equatorial Ionization Anomaly Crests Into a Single Peak Over ∼35° Longitude During the 19 January 2026 Geomagnetic Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract We investigate the nighttime equatorial ionosphere during the 19 January 2026 geomagnetic storm using Global‐scale Observations of the Limb and Disk OI 135.6 nm observations and ground‐based GPS Total Electron Content. The observations reveal a pronounced longitudinal asymmetry in the post‐sunset equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA).
