Ion Energization and Acceleration Associated With Foreshock Bubbles: Results From a Hybrid‐Vlasov Simulation and MMS Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Foreshock Bubbles (FBs) are large‐scale transient structures found in Earth's foreshock region and are associated with foreshock‐discontinuity interaction. FBs play a significant role in accelerating and energizing plasma through various mechanisms.

Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection as an Acceleration Mechanism in Earth’s Magnetotail

The Astrophysical Journal
Using electric and magnetic fields measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we construct a test-particle simulation of a turbulent magnetic reconnection region to investigate observed ion acceleration. We identify three types of energized

Modulation of cosmic-ray ground-level enhancements by solar-wind stream interfaces: a case study [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
Ground-level enhancements (GLEs) provide crucial insights into the acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles (SEPs). We present a comprehensive analysis of GLE 72, which occurred on 10 September 2017, coinciding with a solar-wind stream ...

MMS Observation of Trapping of Electrons by Chorus Waves Inside a Magnetic Hole

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We present an event of chorus waves embedded within a magnetic hole (MH) in the Earth's magnetosheath, observed by the Magnetospheric Multi‐Scale (MMS) mission on 1 March 2016. Unlike conventional cases where chorus waves are typically detected near the center of a magnetic depression, in this event lower‐band chorus waves appear predominantly

Multispacecraft Energetic Particle Enhancements Associated with a Single Corotating Interaction Region

The Astrophysical Journal
The radial evolution of particles accelerated at corotating interaction regions (CIRs) is not fully understood, particularly the distance range over which this particle acceleration occurs and how the energy spectra are modulated by transport through the

Modeling Solar Energetic Neutral Atoms from Solar Flares and CME-driven Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We examine the production of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) in solar flares and coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven shocks and their subsequent propagation to 1 au. Time profiles and fluence spectra of solar ENAs at 1 au are computed for two scenarios: (1)

Energy Partition at a Collisionless Supercritical Quasi‐Parallel Shock

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Shocks in collisionless astrophysical plasmas redistribute some of the incident flow energy into both thermal and non‐thermal energy. Quantifying the partition of that energy amongst various particle species or their sub‐populations, and electromagnetic energy, represents a fundamental goal of shock physics.

Turbulence-driven Anisotropic Acceleration of Energetic Electrons in Solar Wind Current Sheets

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Coherent structures in the solar wind, such as current sheets, are widely recognized as potential sites for energy dissipation and particle acceleration.

Frequency Extensions of Auroral Kilometric Radiation: The Key to Unlocking Earth's Radio Response to Substorms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) provides a sensitive probe of magnetospheric dynamics during substorms. We analyze an extended data set of AKR bursts observed by the WIND spacecraft to investigate how the frequency structure of AKR responds to substorm onset and evolution.
