Magnetopause as conformal mapping [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2023 An axi-symmetric two-dimensional magnetopause model is constructed by making use of the conformal mapping in the complex plane. The model is an analytic continuation of the power-law damped (or asymptotically elongated) parabolic shape. The complex-plane

Cluster observation of continuous reconnection at dayside magnetopause in the vicinity of cusp [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2005 In this paper, we present a case study of continuous reconnection at the dayside magnetopause observed by the Cluster spacecraft. On 1 April 2003, the four Cluster spacecraft experienced multiple encounters with the Earth's dayside magnetopause under ...

Quasi-elastodynamic Processes Involved in the Interaction between Solar Wind and Magnetosphere
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere is one of the most important research subjects in the fields of astrophysics and space physics. For more than half a century, based on the pressure balance assumption between the solar wind and

The dayside magnetopause location during radial interplanetary magnetic field periods: Cluster observation and model comparison [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2015 The present work has investigated the midlatitudinal magnetopause locations under radial interplanetary field (RIMF) conditions. Among 262 (256) earthward (sunward) RIMF events from years of 2001 to 2009, Cluster satellites have crossed the ...

A maximum spreading speed for magnetopause reconnection [PDF]
, 2018 Past observations and numerical modeling find magnetic reconnection to initiate at a localized region and then spread along a current sheet. The rate of spreading has been proposed to be controlled by a number of mechanisms based on the properties within

A generalization of the minimum variance analysis method [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 In order to determine the normal direction of the magnetopause, the minimum variance analysis technique is frequently used: it is applied to the magnetic field data of a magnetopause crossing observed by a satellite, and provides the direction along ...

The role of the Hall effect in the global structure and dynamics of planetary magnetospheres: Ganymede as a case study [PDF]
, 2015 We present high resolution Hall MHD simulations of Ganymede's magnetosphere demonstrating that Hall electric fields in ion-scale magnetic reconnection layers have significant global effects not captured in resistive MHD simulations. Consistent with local

Evidence for Magnetic Reconnection at Ganymede's Upstream Magnetopause During the PJ34 Juno Flyby
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Juno made a close flyby of Ganymede and flew through its magnetosphere on 7 June 2021, including an outbound crossing of Ganymede's upstream magnetopause. We present plasma and magnetic field observations near the upstream magnetopause from Juno's Jovian

Modeling magnetopause location for 4D drift-resolved radiation belt codes: Salammbô model implementation [PDF]
Annales GeophysicaeWe present a new semi-analytical magnetopause location model specifically designed for 4D drift-resolved radiation belt modeling codes. We specifically designed this magnetopause location model for the 4D version of Salammbô, but it can be adaptable to ...
