The Speed of Interplanetary Shocks Through the Magnetosheath: A Toy Model

Geophysical Research Letters
Before interacting with the magnetosphere, an interplanetary shock travels through the magnetosheath where its speed and shape are modified. Previous studies have reported widely different answers to the question of the speed of an interplanetary shock ...

On the role of interplanetary shocks in accelerating MeV electrons

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. One of the sources of solar energetic particle (SEP) events is shocks that are driven by fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They can accelerate SEPs up to relativistic energies and are attributed to the largest SEP events. New studies suggest that CME-driven shocks can potentially accelerate electrons to MeV energies in the vicinity of the ...

Reconfiguration of Mercury's Exosphere During Strong Space Weather Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Mercury is exposed to various space weathering processes, which alter the surface and cause emission of atoms and molecules into the exosphere. The exosphere thus allows remote insights into the surface composition and erosion processes, with the emission of refractory elements such as Ca and Mg typically being dominated by micrometeoroid ...

Mercury’s Bow Shock and Magnetopause Variations According to MESSENGER Data

Universe
Using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft magnetometer that describes the magnetopause and the bow shock crossing points of the Mercury’s magnetosphere, we have calculated the parameters of the paraboloids of revolution approximating the obtained points ...

Electrostatic Plasma Wave Excitations at the Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Abstract Over the last few decades, different types of plasma waves (e.g., the ion acoustic waves (IAWs), electrostatic solitary waves, upper/lower hybrid waves, and Langmuir waves) have been observed in the upstream, downstream, and ramp regions of the collisionless interplanetary (IP) shocks.

IMF By‐Controlled Dawn–Dusk and Hemispheric Asymmetries of Kelvin–Helmholtz Waves and Reconnection Geometry Under Negative Dipole Tilt

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
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.

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 ...

Solar influences in the heliosphere: understanding coronal mass ejections and their associated magnetic clouds [PDF]

, 2011
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale explosions on the Sun that expel plasma and magnetic field into the heliosphere. The interplanetary counterparts of CMEs, termed interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs), are often directly observed by spacecraft ...

Shock waves propagation in the turbulent interplanetary plasma [PDF]

Advances in Space Research, 1996
AbstractEffect of turbulence on interplanetary shock waves propagation is considered. It is shown that background turbulence results in the additional shock wave deceleration which may be comparable with the deceleration due to plasma sweeping. The turbulent deceleration is connected with the energy losses due to the strong turbulence amplification ...

Numerical Investigations of Low‐Latitude Ground Magnetic Fields Due To Cavity Mode Oscillations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Pi2 oscillations are known to be associated with cavity mode oscillations (CMOs) in the inner magnetosphere at low latitudes. CMOs can also be excited by interplanetary shocks on the dayside. We present results from a global linear MHD wave model in spherical coordinates that allows us to analyze these waves at equatorial latitudes.
