From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

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.

A Machine Learning‐Based Model of Three‐Dimensional Ion Fluxes in the High‐Altitude Earth's Northern Cusp

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause is the primary pathway for transferring mass, momentum, and energy from the solar wind into the terrestrial magnetosphere. Previous studies have shown that the spatiotemporal dynamics of dayside magnetic reconnection can be inferred remotely from properties of Earth's cusps, specifically their ...

Ionospheric Scintillation Induced by Hot Flow Anomalies via Particle Precipitation

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Ionospheric scintillation disrupts trans‐ionospheric radio signals and represents significant challenges for critical communication and navigation systems. Here we document that hot flow anomalies (HFAs), transient disturbances formed near Earth's bow shock, can contribute to scintillation near the cusp.

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 ...

Irregular Proton Injection to High Energies at Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
How thermal particles are accelerated to suprathermal energies is an unsolved issue, crucial for many astrophysical systems. We report novel observations of irregular, dispersive enhancements of the suprathermal particle population upstream of a high ...

Global Three‐Dimensional Simulation of Magnetospheric Dynamics During the Extreme Geomagnetic Storm of 10–11 May 2024

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract This study presents a high‐resolution three‐dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the historic geomagnetic storm of 10–11 May 2024, using observational data for the ACE solar wind input. This extreme event was characterized by intense solar wind dynamic pressure (∼50 nPa) and exceptionally strong interplanetary magnetic ...

Statistical Mapping of ULF Wave Power in the Vicinity of Earth's Bow Shock Using Cluster Magnetic Field Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Ultra‐low frequency (ULF) waves with frequencies 10–140 s are a characteristic feature of the foreshock, playing important roles in transient formation, shock reformation, and particle acceleration. We utilize 23 years of Cluster data to map ULF wave power and compressibility in the vicinity of Earth's bow shock, combining Cluster data with ...

Electron dropout echoes induced by interplanetary shock: Van Allen Probes observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
On 23 November 2012, a sudden dropout of the relativistic electron flux was observed after an interplanetary shock arrival. The dropout peaks at ∼1 MeV and more than 80% of the electrons disappeared from the drift shell.

Nighttime Westward Equatorial Electrojet Observed During the January 2026 Geomagnetic Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The equatorial electrojet (EEJ) is a narrow band of zonal electric current flowing in the E‐region ionosphere within approximately ±2° $\pm 2{}^{\circ}$ latitude of the magnetic equator. At night, the EEJ is generally considered very weak because of low ionospheric conductivity.
