Excess of Sodium Ions Density Required to Create a Wide Current at the Hermean Magnetopause
Universe, 2021 In this paper we consider an unusual structure, twice observed at the magnetopause of Mercury, and called the “Double Magnetopause”. Presumably, it is associated with a current sheet created by Na+ ions. Two alternative scenarios are considered.

Concerning the location of magnetopause merging as a function of the magnetopause current strength [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1998 We start from an assumption that merging occurs in regions of the magnetopause where current strengths are greater than some threshold value which corresponds to the total jump in the field across the magnetopause greater than 50 nT. Because time and cost constraints preclude running numerical simulations for a wide variety of interplanetary magnetic ...

Electrodynamic context of magnetopause dynamics observed by magnetospheric multiscale
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Magnetopause observations by Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) and Birkeland currents observed by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment are used to relate magnetopause encounters to ionospheric electrodynamics.

The Microstructure of the Magnetopause [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1975 Summary The microstructure of the magnetopause is reviewed with particular emphasis on the identification of important problems that require further study. The subject is introduced by considering theoretically the microstructure of the thin boundary layer (∼ 1 km) that exists when a cold, unmagnetized stream of magnetosheath ions and electrons ...

Global hybrid simulations of soft X-ray emissions in the Earth’s magnetosheath
Earth and Planetary PhysicsEarth’s magnetopause is a thin boundary separating the shocked solar wind plasma from the magnetospheric plasmas, and it is also the boundary of the solar wind energy transport to the magnetosphere.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Mercury's proximity to the Sun results in the lowest average Alfvénic Mach number in the upstream solar wind compared to any other planet. Under extreme conditions, the upstream Alfvén speed can exceed the solar wind speed, resulting in a sub‐Alfvénic interaction in which standing Alfvén wings form.

Excitation of field line resonances by sources outside the magnetosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2005 Field line resonances are thought to be excited by sources either at the magnetopause or outside it. Recent observations suggest that they may be associated with coherent oscillations or pressure pulses in the solar wind. In either case the excitation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Mercury experiences the most intense and variable solar wind (SW) conditions in the solar system due to its close, eccentric orbit about the Sun. In addition to variation driven by coronal source and solar cycle, the SW arriving at Mercury varies periodically as the planet's heliocentric distance changes by over 50% per orbit.

Geophysical Research Letters, 1996 A novel method is described for reconstruction of two‐dimensional current‐layer structures from measurements taken by a single spacecraft traversing the layer. In its present form, the method is applicable only to 2D magneto‐hydrostatic structures that are passively convected past the observing spacecraft. It is tested on a magnetopause crossing of the
