Magnetic Discontinuities in the Inner Heliosphere: Do Intermediate Shocks Exist?

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Magnetic discontinuities are fundamental structures in space and laboratory plasmas where the changes in magnetic and velocity fields are constrained by Rankine–Hugoniot relations.

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.

The Effects of ICME Composition on the Sputtered Component of the Lunar Exosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Charged‐particle sputtering is a fundamental process that contributes to the generation of the Moon’s neutral exosphere. Neutral sputtering rates are dependent on the speed, flux, and composition of the incident charged‐particle populations, all of which are variable at the Moon’s orbit.

Electron Heating in 2D Particle-in-cell Simulations of Quasi-perpendicular Low-beta Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
We measure the thermal electron energization in 1D and 2D particle-in-cell simulations of quasi-perpendicular, low-beta ( β _p = 0.25) collisionless ion–electron shocks with mass ratio m _i / m _e = 200, fast Mach number ${{ \mathcal M }}_{\mathrm{ms}}=1$

Acceleration of an interplanetary shock through the magnetosheath: a global hybrid simulation

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
According to most observations and simulations, interplanetary shocks slow down when they propagate through the magnetosheath. In this article, we present results from a self-consistent global hybrid PIC simulation of an interplanetary shock which, by ...

Interplanetary Shocks between 0.3 and 1.0 au: Helios 1 and 2 Observations

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Helios 1 (H1) and Helios 2 (H2) spacecraft measured the solar winds at a distance between ∼0.3 and 1.0 au from the Sun. With increasing heliocentric distance ( r _h ), the plasma speed is found to increase at ∼34–40 km s ^−1 au ^−1 and the density ...

Ionospheric Mechanisms Leading to Plasma‐Bubble Zonal Drift Reversal and Deformation During the 12 November 2025 Geomagnetic Storm

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We present a multi‐instrument analysis of the ionospheric response to the intense geomagnetic storm of 12 November 2025 over the American sector, with emphasis on the longitudinally asymmetric deformation, latitudinal expansion, and zonal drift reversal of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs).

Impact angle control of interplanetary shock geoeffectiveness [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2014
AbstractWe use Open Geospace General Circulation Model global MHD simulations to study the nightside magnetospheric, magnetotail, and ionospheric responses to interplanetary (IP) fast forward shocks. Three cases are presented in this study: two inclined oblique shocks, hereafter IOS‐1 and IOS‐2, where the latter has a Mach number twice stronger than ...
