How Does the Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Current System Respond to Solar Flares?
Abstract While the isolated effects of solar flares on low‐latitude ionospheric electrodynamics have been well documented, the coupled system response of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ), auroral electrojet (AEJ), field‐aligned currents (FACs), and asymmetric ring current (ASY‐H) remains poorly understood.

Axial Flux Evolution of Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes from 0.06 to 10 au
Small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) fill much of the solar wind, but their origin and evolution are debated. We apply our recently developed, improved Grad–Shafranov algorithm for the detection and reconstruction of SMFRs to data from Parker Solar ...

Stream interaction regions (SIRs) are spiral heliospheric structures that arise at the interface between fast and preceding slow solar wind regions. SIR enhancements of density and magnetic field intensity, often with magnetic polarity inversion, are ...

Heliospheric Evolution of Magnetic Clouds
Interplanetary evolution of eleven magnetic clouds (MCs) recorded by at least two radially aligned spacecraft is studied. The in situ magnetic field measurements are fitted to a cylindrically symmetric Gold-Hoyle force-free uniform-twist flux-rope ...

Abstract Substorms are often described by a loading‐unloading cycle, where onset follows gradual accumulation of solar wind magnetic flux in the magnetosphere. Yet observations indicate that intense substorms can also be directly driven, though the underlying mechanism remains unresolved.

Interstellar Dust in the Solar System: Model versus In-Situ Spacecraft Data
In the early 1990s, contemporary interstellar dust penetrating deep into the heliosphere was identified with the in-situ dust detector on board the Ulysses spacecraft.

Martian Atmospheric Loss Through Foreshock Transient Events
Abstract At Mars, the MAVEN spacecraft has made observations of Hot Flow Anomalies (HFAs) in the foreshock. Due to the bow shock's proximity to the planet, it is theorized that HFAs contribute to atmospheric escape at Mars through the excavation of ionospheric ions.

Abstract Hot and tenuous plasmas have velocity distribution functions (VDFs) significantly different from Maxwellian distributions. Characterizing how these differences impact wave damping and emission necessitates sophisticated methods for determining the associated dielectric plasma response.
