MMS Observation of Trapping of Electrons by Chorus Waves Inside a Magnetic Hole

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We present an event of chorus waves embedded within a magnetic hole (MH) in the Earth's magnetosheath, observed by the Magnetospheric Multi‐Scale (MMS) mission on 1 March 2016. Unlike conventional cases where chorus waves are typically detected near the center of a magnetic depression, in this event lower‐band chorus waves appear predominantly

Extending the Wave Telescope Technique to Larger Numbers of Spacecraft Obtaining Robust Spatial Power Spectra

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The wave telescope is an analysis technique for multi‐point spacecraft data that estimates power spectra in reciprocal position space (k $k$‐space). It has been used to reveal the spatial properties of waves and fluctuations in space plasmas. Originally designed as an analysis tool for 4 spacecraft constellations, new multi‐scale missions such

Energy Partition at a Collisionless Supercritical Quasi‐Parallel Shock

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Shocks in collisionless astrophysical plasmas redistribute some of the incident flow energy into both thermal and non‐thermal energy. Quantifying the partition of that energy amongst various particle species or their sub‐populations, and electromagnetic energy, represents a fundamental goal of shock physics.

Frequency Extensions of Auroral Kilometric Radiation: The Key to Unlocking Earth's Radio Response to Substorms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) provides a sensitive probe of magnetospheric dynamics during substorms. We analyze an extended data set of AKR bursts observed by the WIND spacecraft to investigate how the frequency structure of AKR responds to substorm onset and evolution.

On the Freeze‐In Distance of Solar Wind Fluid Entropy Variability in the Corona

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strong correlation between solar wind entropy and the frozen‐in ion charge state ratio O7+/O6+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{7+}/{\mathrm{O}}^{6+}$ indicates that entropy variability on timescales of hours or longer is preserved from its solar source. This prompts the question: where in the solar atmosphere does this entropy variability come from, and at

Characterizing Ion‐Scale Fluctuations Around Dipolarization Fronts in Earth's Magnetotail

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Earth's magnetotail bursty bulk flows are often associated with dipolarizing magnetic flux bundles. The leading edges of such earthward‐moving flux bundles are called dipolarization fronts (DF). In the present study we investigate the characteristics of ion‐scale oscillations embedded inside DFs, using observations from NASA's ...

Multiple Reconnection X‐Lines at the Earth's Magnetopause in the Presence of Magnetosheath Flow

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection occurs continuously along long X‐lines at the Earth's magnetopause. The maximum magnetic shear model predicts the locations of these long X‐lines for a wide range of upstream solar wind conditions. One of the more perplexing observational results is that these X‐lines appear to be stationary, even in the presence of ...

Two‐Dimensional Equilibrium Model of Planetary Magnetotail in Generalized Nonthermal Plasmas

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction may result in an elongated magnetotail with stored magnetic field energy. This study presents for the first time a family of asymptotic solutions for stretched two‐dimensional magnetotail equilibrium in generalized nonthermal plasmas, including the Kappa‐like and Maxwellian‐like velocity distributions with ...

Compression of Mercury's Dayside Magnetopause to the Surface: A Three‐Dimensional Model of Magnetospheric Structure and Dynamics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We apply a hybrid model (kinetic ions, fluid electrons) to provide context for MErcury Surface Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) observations of Disappearing Dayside Magnetosphere (DDM) events at Mercury. Such events have been observed on four occasions and are caused by Coronal Mass Ejections completely removing the ...

Intense Ground Magnetic Perturbations During the 2024 May and October Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The May and October 2024 geomagnetic storms represent two of the most intense space weather events of Solar Cycle 25. While differing in global intensity, both storms produced extreme ionospheric disturbances, including equatorward auroral expansion to mid‐latitudes and rapid geomagnetic variations (dH/dt $\text{dH}/\text{dt}$).
