Reconstructing the Geometry of a Hot Flow Anomaly With Bounding Jets in Magnetosheath

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract When interplanetary magnetic field discontinuities interact with planetary bow shocks, hot flow anomalies (HFAs) form in the solar wind and can extend into the magnetosheath. Here we reconstruct the three‐dimensional geometry of an HFA bounded by two jet regions in the terrestrial magnetosheath.

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 ...

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)

Modeling Shock‐accelerated Solar Energetic Particles Coupled to Interplanetary Alfven Waves

The Astrophysical Journal, 2003
We present an idealized model simulating the coupled evolution of the distributions of multispecies shock-accelerated energetic ions and interplanetary Alfven waves in gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events. Particle pitch-angle diffusion coefficients are expressed in terms of wave intensities, and wave growth rates in terms of momentum ...

Effects of the May 2024 Solar Storm on the Earth's Radiation Belts Observed by CALET on the International Space Station

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract In May 2024, extraordinary solar activity triggered a powerful solar storm, impacting Earth and producing the extreme geomagnetic storm of 10‐11 May, the most intense since 2003. This had significant effects on the magnetosphere, leading to the creation of a new long‐lasting component of relativistic electrons and to flux changes in the South ...

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

Statistical Characteristics of Electron Precipitation During HSS‐ and ICME‐Driven Storms Observed by the EISCAT Radar

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The 1–100 keV electron precipitation during storm time has been studied by applying the updated ELSPEC inversion method to field‐aligned electron density profiles measured by the EISCAT Tromsø radar at L = 6.5. The statistical properties of peak energy, total energy flux, and total number flux as a function of MLT have been studied for the two

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

Comparative Analysis Of Interplanetary Magnetic Field And Moving Charged Particles [PDF]

, 2017
The discussion reviews the wave-particle duality of clouds of ions, protons and electron blown out from Sun and enter Earthrsquos magnetic field. They behave as particles when they are at rest or moving with uniform motion-velocity from the source or co ...
