Topology of turbulence within collisionless plasma reconnection

Scientific Reports, 2023
In near-collisionless plasmas, which are ubiquitous in astrophysics, entropy production relies on fully-nonlinear processes such as turbulence and reconnection, which lead to particle acceleration.

The May 2024 Storm: The Cusps and Dayside Magnetopause in Simulated Soft X‐Rays

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The coronal mass ejection (CME) arriving at Earth on 10 May 2024 caused the most intense geomagnetic storm in the last two decades, resulting in highly unusual cusp and magnetopause dynamics. We simulate soft X‐Ray emission due to solar wind charge exchange with exospheric neutrals to image the global dayside dynamics, focusing on the impact ...

Reconnection of magnetic flux ropes driven by two-color Laguerre–Gaussian laser pulses in plasma

Matter and Radiation at Extremes
The generation and reconnection of magnetic flux ropes in a plasma irradiated by two Laguerre–Gaussian laser pulses with different frequencies and opposite topological charges are investigated numerically by particle-in-cell simulations. It is shown that

Exploring Jupiter's Mid‐Latitude Dusk Magnetopause: The Impact of Magnetic Reconnection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract The Juno mission has elucidated magnetosphere processes, structure, and dynamics via multi‐instrument plasma and magnetic field observations. In this study, these instruments are used to identify magnetic reconnection during the Juno extended mission from a survey of 490 magnetopause crossings at the mid‐latitude southern dusk magnetopause ...

Recent Progress in Understanding Solar Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2015
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process occurring in a wide range of astrophysical, heliospheric and laboratory plasmas. This process alters magnetic topology and triggers rapid conversion of magnetic energy into thermal heating and nonthermal ...

Cross‐Scale Energy Transfer at Dipolarization Front in the Earth's Magnetotail

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Dipolarization front (DF) is a key structure for energy conversion and transport in planetary magnetotails. Although multiscale processes have been observed around DFs, quantitative analyses of cross‐scale coupling remain lacking. Here, we calculate cross‐scale transfer rate for different energy channels at a DF using Magnetospheric Multiscale

Quasi‐Homologous Solar Flares and Impacts on Thermospheric Density and Satellite Orbital Drag

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Quasi‐Homologous Flaring (QHF) activity from active regions on the Sun releases intense electromagnetic radiation in recurrent bursts over extended periods. In this letter, we present the effects of recurrent impulsive extreme ultraviolet (EUV) heating on thermospheric neutral density and the resulting atmospheric drag on satellites based on ...

Quantifying Non‐Maxwellian Properties of Ion Populations During Reconnection at Earth's Magnetopause

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract We investigate ion velocity‐space features within the exhaust of magnetopause reconnection using a global hybrid‐Vlasov simulation. The Hermite transform and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) are applied to quantify the complexity of velocity‐space structures that arise during the mixing of magnetospheric and magnetosheath ion populations.

Complexity of Magnetic Field Fluctuations in the Reconnection Outflow Region

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into plasma kinetic and thermal energy, and generates high-speed outflows.

The Evolution of Parallel Electric Field Across the Earth's Magnetosheath

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract In Earth's collisionless magnetosheath, turbulence evolution and energy transformation across the system, especially at kinetic scales, remain poorly quantified without full‐coverage of high‐resolution observations. Using multi‐traversal observations from the 2023 and 2024 Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Unbiased Magnetosheath Campaign, we ...
