Excitation of Large Amplitude Compressional ULF Waves in the Magnetosphere by Solar Wind Pressure Spikes and IMF Southward Turning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a case study of large amplitude, compressional Pc5 waves observed by GOES 13 and 15 at geosynchronous orbit near noon. These waves were excited near the arrival time of two consecutive solar wind dynamic pressure spikes at the magnetopause, the second of which was associated with a large and rapid southward turning of the ...

The investigation of quasi-separatrix layers in solar magnetic fields [PDF]

, 2011
The structure of the magnetic field is often an important factor in many energetic processes in the solar corona. To determine the topology of the magnetic field features such as null points, separatrix surfaces, and separators must be found.

First Report of Rising‐Tone EMIC Waves Driven by the Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Magnetosheath high‐speed jets (HSJs) are pervasive transient structures with enhanced dynamic pressure in the terrestrial magnetosheath and can exert notable local impacts on the magnetopause. Although various geoeffects have been reported to be associated with HSJs, whether HSJs can drive the generation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC)

Enhancement of Dayside Westward Electrojet: Triggering Conditions and Current Closures

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic substorms are a major path for energy storage and release in the magnetosphere, which typically occur in the midnight sector with a strong enhancement of westward electrojets. However, by analyzing 37,940 events from a substorm list, about 3% of events unexpectedly initiated in the noon sector.

Dayside and nightside reconnection rates inferred from IMAGE FUV and Super Dual Auroral Radar Network data [PDF]

, 2006
peer reviewedThe spectrographic imager at 121.8 nm ( SI12) of the far ultraviolet ( FUV) experiment onboard the IMAGE spacecraft produces global images of the Doppler- shifted Lyman alpha emission of the proton aurora.

Secondary Reconnection Between Interlinked Flux Tubes Driven by Magnetic Reconnection With a Short X‐Line

Geophysical Research Letters
A three‐dimensional particle‐in‐cell simulation is performed to study secondary reconnection between two interlinked flux tubes produced by neighboring guide field reconnection x‐lines.

Advancements in the study of collisionless magnetic reconnection and plasma waves

地球与行星物理论评
Magnetic reconnection and plasma waves share a critical connection. On the one hand, quasi-steady wave structures (shock, KAW eigenmode) play a pivotal role in the formation and structure of magnetic reconnection.

TRACERS Small‐Scale Field‐Aligned Currents and Intense GPS Amplitude and Phase Scintillations in the Nightside Auroral Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We present conjugate observations of ionospheric small‐scale magnetic perturbations (dB) $(dB)$ and GPS scintillations from the Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) and the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) during a storm‐time substorm on 9 August 2025 in the nightside auroral region ...

Magnetic reconnection solutions in the presence of multiple nulls [PDF]

, 1999
It is known that exact analytic solutions can be constructed for incompressible magnetic reconnection in three space dimensions. In the case of an isolated X-point null, there are two types of reconnection solutions, namely, “spine” and “fan” models ...

Local Evolution of a Prenoon Drainage Plume

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Plasmaspheric drainage plumes are typically observed in the postnoon sector during geomagnetic storms, but their local evolution in the prenoon sector remains poorly understood. Here, we report in situ observations from the Van Allen Probe, revealing multiple localized enhancements in cold electron density near apogee in the prenoon sector ...
