AI Based Velocity Calibration for Cassini's Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA)

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This paper presents a novel AI‐based velocity calibration method for the Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) onboard the Cassini spacecraft, in particular for impacts on the large Impact Ionization Detector (IID). The legacy polynomial calibration function, derived from laboratory measurements at a dust accelerator facility, assigns a velocity ...

Near‐Earth Cosmic Ray Modulation Index ϕ and Neutron Monitor Cutoff Rigidities at Hourly Cadence: Toward an Improved Monitoring of Solar‐Terrestrial Radiation Environment, Space Weather, and Space Climate

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Cosmic rays (CRs) are energetic particles originating from galactic and extragalactic sources. When arriving into the solar system and the Sun's heliosphere, they are diverted and modulated by the magnetic activity of the Sun. This modulation can be quantified by the modulation parameter ϕ $\phi $ determined with the Force‐field approximation (

Jovian Auroral Proton Precipitation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The total power of the Jovian aurora is about 1013–1014 W with ultraviolet emission observed in the Lyman and Werner bands of molecular hydrogen. X‐ray, radio, and infrared emissions have also been observed. The Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment and the Jovian Energetic Particle Detector Instrument onboard the Juno spacecraft, orbiting ...

Where the stellar wind impinges the interstellar medium

Conference: Physics of Extreme Massive Stars
Massive stars have strong radiation-driven winds, losing part of their mass. Where these winds encounter the interstellar medium, a separatrix surface can form, called astropause. The astropause separates the stellar wind region, the astrosphere, from the outer streaming interstellar medium. At the apex of the astropause the stagnation point is located,

Deterministic Propagation of Suprathermal Ions Through the Heliosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The PEPSSI instrument onboard New Horizons is sampling the energy range that bridges pickup and suprathermal He+ ${\mathrm{H}\mathrm{e}}^{+}$ ions for the first time in the outer heliosphere. New Horizons repeatedly encountered structures beyond 30 au that we interpret as the spiral of a corotating interaction region (CIR) for an extended ...

Spherical Harmonic Representation of Energetic Neutral Atom Flux Components Observed by IBEX

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) images the heliosphere by observing energetic neutral atoms (ENAs). The IBEX-Hi instrument on board IBEX provides full-sky maps of ENA fluxes produced in the heliosphere and very local interstellar medium through

Aircraft Ionizing Radiation Exposure for Solar Cycle 24/25 From ARMAS and NAIRAS

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Exposure to ionizing radiation from galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles at aviation flight altitudes can have an adverse effect on human health. Although airline crews are classified as radiation workers by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), in most countries, their level of exposure is unquantified ...

Gasdynamic models of the solar wind/interstellar medium interaction

Geophysical Research Letters, 1994
The interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium is modeled self‐consistently using numerical solutions of the time‐dependent gasdynamic equations in spherical and cylindrical coordinates. For the results presented here it is assumed that the solar system moves through the surrounding medium with a supersonic velocity.

Dynamical Effects of Stellar Winds and Associated HII Regions on the Interstellar Medium [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
A dynamical model has been developed, describing the joint evolution of a stellar wind and an associated HII region during the main sequence life time of an OB-star. It is proposed that in case of spherical symmetry all dynamical features are obtained by dividing the flow into spatially homogenous regions separated by discontinuities (shock fronts ...

Classical, large-scale 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of interacting pulsar wind nebulae

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Magnetised rotating neutron stars, or pulsars, are a possible end product of massive star evolution. Their relativistic wind successively interacts with the supernova ejecta of their defunct progenitor, then with the circumstellar medium of the ...
