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

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

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 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 ...

20 Years of Cluster Observations: The Magnetopause [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2021 AbstractThe terrestrial magnetopause forms the boundary between the solar wind plasma with its embedded interplanetary magnetic field on one side, and the terrestrial magnetosphere, dominated by Earth's dipole field, on the other side. It is therefore a key region for the transfer of mass, momentum, and energy from the solar wind to the magnetosphere ...

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 ...

The magnetopause shape and location: a comparison of the Interball and Geotail observations with models [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2002 A number of magnetopause models have been developed in the course of last three decades. We have chosen seven of them and tested them using a fresh set of magnetopause crossings observed by Interball-1, Magion-4, and Geotail satellites.
