Association of Pi2 pulsations and pulsed reconnection: Ground and Cluster observations in the tail lobe at 16 RE [PDF]

, 2006
International audienceSimultaneous measurements from the Cluster spacecraft and several ground stations (SAMNET, IMAGE, Kakioka, Hermanus) provide evidence for an association of Pi2 pulsations and pulsed reconnection in the magnetotail.

Martian Magnetotail Neutral Sheet Asymmetry Driven by Heavy Planetary Pickup Ions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract In the induced magnetotail of Mars, the neutral sheet is an important channel for atmospheric ion escape, yet the role of heavy planetary pickup ions in shaping its geometry has been unclear. Using three‐dimensional hybrid simulations, we demonstrate that these ions induce a global neutral sheet asymmetry via mass loading.

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} $D=\max \left\{-Dst\right\}$ to the storm main‐phase maximum duskward interplanetary electric field E $E$.

A multi-instrument view of tail reconnection at Saturn [PDF]

, 2008
Three instances of tail reconnection events at Saturn involving the ejection of plasmoids downtail have been reported by Jackman et al. (2007) using data from Cassini’s magnetometer (MAG).

Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual‐Lobe Reconnection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS‐2 orbits through the northern low‐altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS‐2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and sunward convection, consistent with magnetopause reconnection tailward of the cusp during this northward IMF interval.

Magnetic Mirror Effect as a Trigger of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]

, 1994
A new mechanism of collisionless magnetic reconnection is proposed. it is based on the current density redistribution along the magnetic field lines caused by the reflection of meandering particles due to the magnetic mirror effect from the would-be ...

Generation of quasi-periodic waves and flows in the solar atmosphere by oscillatory reconnection [PDF]

, 2012
We investigate the long-term evolution of an initially buoyant magnetic flux tube emerging into a gravitationally stratified coronal hole environment and report on the resulting oscillations and outflows.

Unraveling the Fine‐Scale Tapestry of Solar Wind at 1AU

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Solar wind is a complex network of distinct magnetic flux tubes, each contained and separated by a current sheet. In this study, more than 50,000 current sheets in the solar wind are identified and characterized for the first time, using multi‐point Cluster observations during solar minimum and maximum intervals.
