The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Nonthermal Acceleration of Electrons, Positrons, and Protons at a Nonrelativistic Quasi-parallel Collisionless Shock

The Astrophysical Journal
Energetic positrons have been observed in the interstellar medium, and high-energy positrons with relativistic energies up to approximately 1 TeV have been detected in Galactic cosmic rays.

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.

Betatron Cooling of Halo and Strahl Electrons in the Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
It is widely recognized that adiabatic acceleration plays an essential role in the dynamics of the solar wind electron distribution. Nevertheless, the role of electron adiabatic cooling remains poorly understood, at least from an observational standpoint.

ERNE observations of energetic particles associated with Earth-directed coronal mass ejections in April and May, 1997 [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2000
Two Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which were most effective in energetic (~1–50 MeV) particle acceleration during the first 18 months since the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) launch, occurred on April 7 and May 12, 1997.

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.

TRANSPORT EQUATION FOR MHD TURBULENCE: APPLICATION TO PARTICLE ACCELERATION AT INTERPLANETARY SHOCKS

The Astrophysical Journal, 2009
The aim of the present paper is to unify the various transport equations for turbulent waves that are used in different areas of space physics. Here, we mostly focus on the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, in particular the Alfvenic turbulence. The applied methods, however, are general and can be extended to other forms of turbulence, for example the ...

Structured Energy Conversion in Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract We present quantitative investigations of the energy conversion pathways—electromagnetic ϵEM $\left({{\epsilon}}^{EM}\right)$, fluid flow ϵf $\left({{\epsilon}}^{f}\right)$, and particle thermal ϵth $\left({{\epsilon}}^{th}\right)$ energies—within the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. We find

Evolution of Electron Acceleration by Corotating Interaction Region Shocks at 1 au

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the first observations of in situ electron acceleration at corotating interaction region (CIR) shocks near 1 au, utilizing measurements from Wind and Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the interplanetary medium. As the forward (reverse)

SH41B-2777: The acceleration of particles at propagating interplanetary shocks

, 2018
Enhancements of charged energetic particles are often observed at Earth following the eruption of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on the Sun. These enhancements are thought to arise from the acceleration of those particles at interplanetary shocks forming ahead of CMEs, propagating into the heliosphere.
