Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Mercury's weak intrinsic magnetic field forms a small magnetosphere and thus a bow shock that decelerates the supermagnetosonic solar wind and reflects particles upstream, forming a foreshock in the quasi‐parallel region. This region is populated by backstreaming ions and electrons and associated wave activity.

Rapid Magnetotail Reconfiguration and Ion‐Scale Wave Activity at Mercury
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Mercury's magnetosphere is an extremely dynamic environment, where substorm‐like activity, including dipolarization fronts and particle acceleration, periodically disrupts the stability and radial extent of the closed field line region. The common narrowband ∼1 Hz waves at Mercury, near the local proton gyrofrequency are preferentially ...

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.

Electron‐Driven Instabilities in Jupiter's Magnetodisc
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Thermal electrons in Jupiter's magnetodisc have been observed to be anisotropic with higher parallel temperature compared to perpendicular. In this work, we used previously‐derived electron properties (Sarkango et al., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025gl118209) to calculate electron β‖ ${\beta }_{\Vert }$ and compared the observed anisotropy ...

Cross‐Correlations of Solar Wind Parameters Using Monitoring Spacecraft
Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Space weather predictive modeling currently utilizes real‐time data from the spacecraft ACE and DSCOVR, with SOLAR‐1 and IMAP recently online. This study assesses whether DSCOVR solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) data exhibit large‐scale discrepancies from the corresponding ACE data, and if so, whether these ...

On the fractal nature of the magnetic field energy density in the solar wind [PDF]
, 2007 The solar wind exhibits scaling typical of intermittent turbulence in the statistics of in situ fluctuations in both the magnetic and velocity fields.

Transport of Solar Wind Fluctuations: A Two-Component Model [PDF]
, 2011 We present a new model for the transport of solar wind fluctuations which treats them as two interacting incompressible components: quasi-two-dimensional turbulence and a wave-like piece.

Quantifying finite range plasma turbulence [PDF]
Turbulence is a highly non-linear process ubiquitous in Nature. The nonlinearity is responsible for the coupling of many degrees of freedom leading to an unpredictable dynamical evolution of a turbulent system.

Intermittent character of interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations
, 2007 Interplanetary magnetic field magnitude fluctuations are notoriously more intermittent than velocity fluctuations in both fast and slow wind. This behavior has been interpreted in terms of the anomalous scaling observed in passive scalars in fully ...
