Martian Magnetotail Neutral Sheet Asymmetry Driven by Heavy Planetary Pickup Ions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract In the induced magnetotail of Mars, the neutral sheet is an important channel for atmospheric ion escape, yet the role of heavy planetary pickup ions in shaping its geometry has been unclear. Using three‐dimensional hybrid simulations, we demonstrate that these ions induce a global neutral sheet asymmetry via mass loading.

Propagation of Interplanetary Shocks in the Heliosphere

, 2023
Interplanetary shocks are one of the crucial dynamic processes in the Heliosphere. They accelerate particles into a high energy, generate plasma waves, and could potentially trigger geomagnetic storms in the terrestrial magnetosphere disturbing significantly our technological infrastructures. In this study, two IP shock events are selected to study the

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} $D=\max \left\{-Dst\right\}$ to the storm main‐phase maximum duskward interplanetary electric field E $E$.

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Initial Phase of Geomagnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using simultaneous magnetic field observations from 10 satellites and an automated detection algorithm, we identify broad regions of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave activity during the initial phases of geomagnetic storms between September 2015 and October 2019.

Computations on the interaction of an interplanetary shock with the Earth's magnetosphere

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1977
We present the results of a one-dimensional computer simulation of the interaction between interplanetary shocks and the Earth's magnetosphere. The position of the bowshock as a function of solar wind velocity and interplanetary field direction is studied.

MMS Observations of the Energetic Particles Within Kelvin‐Helmholtz Waves at the Boundary of the 10 May 2024 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract On 10 May 2024, Earth was hit by a CME that drove the largest geomagnetic storm in 20 years. Multi‐spacecraft observations previously showed that the ∼100 nT north‐south IMF bz ${b}_{z}$ variation was driven by Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves with wavelength ∼250 RE ${R}_{E}$ and reconnection jets in the ±z $\pm z$‐direction (Nykyri, 2024a, https://doi.

Predicting the Arrival Time of an Interplanetary Shock Based on DSRT Spectrum Observations for the Corresponding Type II Radio Burst and a Blast Wave Theory

The Astrophysical Journal
Since fast head-on coronal mass ejections and their associated shocks represent potential hazards to the space environment of the Earth and even other planets, forecasting the arrival time of the corresponding interplanetary shock is a priority in space ...

The θBn problem: Determination of local magnetic parameters of interplanetary shocks from in situ IMF data [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 2001
The angle θBn is the angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal direction and is important for many phenomena in interplanetary physics.
