Variations of Mid‐Magnetotail Magnetic Pressure During Substorms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is commonly observed in the mid‐tail plasma sheet during substorms, the mechanism behind this spatial preference, however, remains unsolved. This study focuses on magnetic pressure evolution within this critical region during substorms.

A case study of large-amplitude ULF waves in the Martian foreshock

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020
Foreshock ultralow frequency (ULF) waves constitute a significant physical phenomenon in the plasma environment of terrestrial planets. The occurrence of these waves, associated with backstreaming particles reflected and accelerated at the bow shock ...

Spiky Bursts of Energetic Electron Beams Upstream of Nonstationary Quasi‐Perpendicular Shocks

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Energetic electron beams play a crucial role in collisionless shocks by driving upstream plasma waves and providing seed populations for diffusive shock acceleration. However, the processes responsible for their generation at quasi‐perpendicular shocks remain poorly understood.

Impact angle control of interplanetary shock geoeffectiveness [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2014
AbstractWe use Open Geospace General Circulation Model global MHD simulations to study the nightside magnetospheric, magnetotail, and ionospheric responses to interplanetary (IP) fast forward shocks. Three cases are presented in this study: two inclined oblique shocks, hereafter IOS‐1 and IOS‐2, where the latter has a Mach number twice stronger than ...

Structured Energy Conversion in Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract We present quantitative investigations of the energy conversion pathways—electromagnetic ϵEM $\left({{\epsilon}}^{EM}\right)$, fluid flow ϵf $\left({{\epsilon}}^{f}\right)$, and particle thermal ϵth $\left({{\epsilon}}^{th}\right)$ energies—within the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. We find

Interplanetary Shocks Observed from Multipoints at Venus and 1 au

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a database of 12 fast forward interplanetary (IP) shocks observed in situ by radially aligned spacecraft (Venus Express, Wind, and/or STEREO) between 2006 and 2014.

On the Generation of Pre‐Sunrise Equatorial Plasma Bubbles in Southeast Asia During the Geomagnetic Storm of May 2024

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract A set of fresh Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) formed during pre‐sunrise hours in the Southeast Asian sector amid the recovery phase of May 2024 geomagnetic storm. They offered new insights into their formation mechanism. This study used Total Electron Content (TEC) and Rate of TEC Index maps over Indonesia, along with ionosondes in Thailand ...

Mars' O+ ${\mathbf{O}}^{+}$ and O2+ ${\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{2}}^{+}$ Ion Escape During Disappearing Solar Wind Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Disappearing solar wind events (DSWEs), intervals when the solar wind proton density <1 cm−3 ${\text{cm}}^{-3}$, represent one extreme of the Mars solar wind interaction. Using data from NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission from February 2016 to May 2024, 154 orbits across 90 unique days were identified.

Three-stage Acceleration of Solar Energetic Particles Detected by Parker Solar Probe

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) drive powerful shocks and thereby accelerate solar energetic particles (SEPs) as they propagate from the corona into interplanetary space.

Theta Aurora: Transpolar Arcs Linked to a Folded Magnetotail Neutral Sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Nightside‐originating transpolar arcs (TPAs) represent a distinct mechanism of magnetosphere‐ionosphere energy transfer during northward IMF conditions. Nightside‐originating TPAs originate from the nightside auroral oval and grow across the polar cap to connect to the dayside, appearing to cross multiple topological boundaries as they develop.
