Steepening of waves at the duskside magnetopause

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Surface waves at the magnetopause flanks typically feature steeper, i.e., more inclined leading (antisunward facing) than trailing (sunward facing) edges. This is expected for Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) amplified waves.

On the Collisionless Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection Rate

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
A prediction of the steady state reconnection electric field in asymmetric reconnection is obtained by maximizing the reconnection rate as a function of the opening angle made by the upstream magnetic field on the weak magnetic field (magnetosheath) side.

Estimating the subsolar magnetopause position from soft X-ray images using a low-pass image filter

Earth and Planetary Physics
The Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) and Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) missions will image the Earth’s dayside magnetopause and cusps in soft X-rays after their respective launches in the near future, to ...

Mercury’s Bow Shock and Magnetopause Variations According to MESSENGER Data

Universe
Using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft magnetometer that describes the magnetopause and the bow shock crossing points of the Mercury’s magnetosphere, we have calculated the parameters of the paraboloids of revolution approximating the obtained points ...

Occurrence of Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability at Lunar Distance Magnetopause: ARTEMIS Observation

The Astrophysical Journal
Kelvin–Helmholtz waves can be observed frequently at the near-Earth magnetopause and play an important role in the transport of particles, momentum, and energy from the solar wind to the magnetosphere.
