Abstract In the search for life on Mars, understanding the origin of preserved organics is critical. Expected sources include exogenous delivery, endogenous synthesis, and potentially life. Environmental processing by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can alter these organics, obscuring hallmarks of their origin. To deconvolve these effects, we conducted an

Time distributions of solar energetic particle events: Are SEPEs really random?
Solar energetic particle events (SEPEs) can exhibit flux increases of several orders of magnitude over background levels and have always been considered to be random innature in statistical models with no dependence of any one event on the occurrence of ...

Three-stage Acceleration of Solar Energetic Particles Detected by Parker Solar Probe
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) drive powerful shocks and thereby accelerate solar energetic particles (SEPs) as they propagate from the corona into interplanetary space.

ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Abstract Along with magnetic reconnection, Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) waves are the main mechanisms controlling the solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction, enabling plasma transport into the magnetosphere due to secondary reconnection, diffusion and wave‐particle interactions.

Particle acceleration in the presence of weak turbulence at an X-type neutral point [PDF]
We simulate the likely noisy situation near a reconnection region by superposing many 2D linear reconnection eigenmodes. The superposition of modes on the steady state X-type magnetic field creates multiple X- and O-type neutral points close to the ...

Oxygen Pickup Acceleration in the Plasma Mantle Associated With Traveling Flux‐Rope Structures
Abstract It is well known that, in the high‐altitude cusp and mantle regions, ionospheric‐origin outflowing oxygen (O+) ions are often energized through non‐adiabatic processes, among which cyclotron resonance is considered a major mechanism. Here, based on Cluster observations, we present evidence that pickup acceleration also operates as a non ...

Adaptive particle swarm optimization [PDF]
An adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) that features better search efficiency than classical particle swarm optimization (PSO) is presented. More importantly, it can perform a global search over the entire search space with faster convergence ...
