Shock parameter calculations at weak interplanetary shock waves [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2005
Abstract. A large set of interplanetary shock waves observed using the Ulysses spacecraft is analysed in order to determine their local parameters. For the first time a detailed analysis is extended to the thermodynamic properties of a large number of events. The intention is to relate the shock parameters to the requirements set by MHD shock theory. A

Global Circulation of Martian Ionospheric Currents Revealed by Magnetometer Data

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract In the dynamo region of the Martian ionosphere, a large‐scale current is generated by charge separation: ions collide with neutrals while electrons preferentially gyrate around local magnetic field lines. Using MAVEN magnetometer data and a physics‐informed neural network constrained by Ampère's law and Gauss's law for magnetism (the Neural ...

Energetics of Shock-triggered Supersubstorms (SML < −2500 nT)

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The solar wind energy input and dissipation in the magnetospheric–ionospheric systems of 17 supersubstorms (SSSs: SML < −2500 nT) triggered by interplanetary shocks during solar cycles 23 and 24 are studied in detail. The SSS events had durations ranging

Extreme Radiation Belt Dropout During the May 2024 Superstorm

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract The geomagnetic superstorm in May 2024 represents the most extreme space weather event over the past two decades, offering a unique opportunity to investigate radiation belt electron dynamics under exceptionally strong solar wind driving conditions. Observations from the Arase satellite show that relativistic electron fluxes dropped by several

Earthward Transport of Lunar Metallic Ions: Implications of Heavy Ions in the Magnetosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Low‐charge‐state heavy ions in Earth's magnetosphere were thought to originate from the ionosphere. However, Observations from the Geotail mission have detected the presence of singly charged metallic ions, such as Fe+ ${\mathrm{F}\mathrm{e}}^{+}$, whose abundances vary depending on the Moon's location, alongside their density ratios to O ...

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

Impacts of Neutral Wind‐Driven Currents on Geomagnetic Disturbances and Magnetospheric Dynamics During the May 2024 Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The neutral wind dynamo generates ionospheric currents that can significantly affect high‐latitude electrodynamics during geomagnetic storms, yet its role in global magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling is often underrepresented. We quantify the impact of wind‐driven currents on geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and magnetospheric dynamics during ...

Analysis of interplanetary solar sail trajectories with attitude dynamics [PDF]

, 2012
We present a new approach to the problem of optimal control of solar sails for low-thrust trajectory optimization. The objective was to find the required control torque magnitudes in order to steer a solar sail in interplanetary space.

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

Uranus's Highly Nonaxisymmetric Magnetopause and Its Impact on Magnetic Reconnection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mass and energy fluxes from the solar wind can access a planet's magnetosphere through dayside magnetic reconnection. The plasma and magnetic field conditions on either side of the magnetopause determine whether reconnection is suppressed. However, magnetosheath conditions are sensitive to the shape of the magnetopause, and deviations from ...
