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.

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 (

Effect of Lunar Rotation on Antipodal Ejecta Deposition

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Moon's crust exhibits strong magnetic anomalies that likely record ancient magnetic fields produced by a core dynamo. Lunar materials have low magnetic susceptibility, but impactor material with high susceptibility may record the Moon's ancient dynamo. Some magnetic anomalies are antipodal to lunar basins and it is hypothesized that impact

Characteristics of Lunar Surface Electrons Inferred From THEMIS‐ARTEMIS Observations: 2. Photoelectrons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The lunar surface charging is controlled mainly by the balance of electron currents near the surface. One of the main electron currents is the photocurrent on the dayside, comprised of photoelectrons produced by solar photons ionizing the lunar surface.

Rheology and Structure of Fe‐Mg‐Ca Enriched Silicate Melt: Benchmarking Viscosity Models for an Exotic Planetary Composition

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Silicate melt viscosity plays a pivotal role in the evolution of rocky bodies within the Solar System, exerting first‐order control on mantle differentiation and stratification, while dictating the metal‐silicate separation and the subsequent volcanic activity.
