Bow Shock Current Closure Through the Magnetosheath for Non‐Zero IMF By—Results From Hybrid Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The bow shock current (BSC) flows on the bow shock due to the compression of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) across the shock. Although previous studies have shown that the BSC can connect to magnetospheric current systems via the magnetosheath, it is still not known how this happens.

MMS Observations of Multi‐Species Wave‐Particle Interactions and Rapid Foreshock Evolution

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The ion foreshock is the region upstream of Earth's bow shock where magnetic field lines connect to the quasi‐parallel shock surface. Within this region, there exist a variety of backstreaming ion populations from the shock ramp that can generate ultra‐low frequency (ULF) waves through wave‐particle interactions. In this work, we use data from

Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...

ML‐EPM: A Machine Learning Model of Auroral Electron Precipitation Spectra Using Long‐Term DMSP Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Auroral precipitation plays a key role in coupling the Magnetosphere–Ionosphere–Thermosphere system by modifying ionospheric conductance, currents, atmospheric heating, and upper‐atmospheric dynamics. Leveraging 17 years of electron spectrum data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), we developed a Machine Learning‐based ...

Longitudinal Variation of Ionospheric Irregularities and Response of the Ionosphere During 10–13 May and 10–13 October 2024 Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We examine the response of the ionosphere to the 10–13 May 2024 and 10–13 October 2024 geomagnetic storms, the two recent great geomagnetic storms of solar cycle 25. We identified the occurrence of ionospheric irregularities during the two geomagnetic storms.

Flat Spectra of Energetic Particles in Interplanetary Shock Precursors

The Astrophysical Journal
The observed energy spectra of accelerated particles at interplanetary shocks often do not match the diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) theory predictions. In some cases, the particle flux forms a plateau over a wide range of energies, extending upstream

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

Quantifying Uncertainty in OMNI Solar Wind Measurements Projected From L1 to the Earth's Bow Shock

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Many routine measurements of the solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) are made at the L1 Sun–Earth Lagrange point; therefore, it is helpful to characterize the errors introduced in propagating these measurements to the near‐Earth environment.
