The Location of Magnetic Reconnection at Earth’s Magnetopause
Space Science Reviews, 2021 One of the major questions about magnetic reconnection is how specific solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field conditions influence where reconnection occurs at the Earth’s magnetopause.

Multiple Reconnection X‐Lines at the Magnetopause and Overlapping Cusp Ion Injections
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2022 Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations during an extended crossing of the Earth's dayside magnetopause show evidence of multiple reconnections at the boundary.

Solar Wind Control of Magnetosheath Jet Formation and Propagation to the Magnetopause
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2021 Magnetosheath jets are localized high‐dynamic pressure pulses originating at Earth's bow shock and propagating earthward through the magnetosheath. Jets can influence magnetospheric dynamics upon impacting the magnetopause; however, many jets dissipate ...

Statistics on the Magnetosheath Properties Related to Magnetopause Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Magnetosheath properties, particularly those related to magnetopause magnetic reconnection (MR), are investigated in this study. (1) Asymmetries are found to exist in the distributions of plasma and magnetic field parameters in the magnetosheath.

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

Direct observations of a surface eigenmode of the dayside magnetopause [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The abrupt boundary between a magnetosphere and the surrounding plasma, the magnetopause, has long been known to support surface waves. It was proposed that impulses acting on the boundary might lead to a trapping of these waves on the dayside by the ...

Universality of Lower Hybrid Waves at Earth's Magnetopause [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2019 Waves around the lower hybrid frequency are frequently observed at Earth's magnetopause and readily reach very large amplitudes. Determining the properties of lower hybrid waves is crucial because they are thought to contribute to electron and ion ...

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 ...
