Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

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

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

Martian Magnetotail Neutral Sheet Asymmetry Driven by Heavy Planetary Pickup Ions
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.

Global Magnetospheric Response to an Interplanetary Shock: THEMIS Observations
We investigate the global response of geospace plasma environment to an interplanetary shock at approx. 0224 UT on May 28, 2008 from multiple THEMIS spacecraft observations in the magnetosheath (THEMIS B and C) and the mid-afternoon (THEMIS A) and dusk ...

Irregular Proton Injection to High Energies at Interplanetary Shocks
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 ...

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms
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 $E$.

Electrostatic Plasma Wave Excitations at the Interplanetary Shocks
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.

The driving mechanisms of particle precipitation during the moderate geomagnetic storm of 7 January 2005 [PDF]
International audienceThe arrival of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) triggered a sudden storm commencement (SSC) at ~09:22 UT on the 7 January 2005. The ICME followed a quiet period in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).

Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Initial Phase of Geomagnetic Storms
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.
