Ion Dynamics at the Magnetopause of Ganymede [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2022 AbstractWe study the dynamics of the thermal O+ and H+ ions at Ganymede's magnetopause when Ganymede is inside and outside of the Jovian plasma sheet using a three‐dimensional hybrid model of plasma (kinetic ions, fluid electrons). We present the global structure of the electric fields and power density (E ⋅ J) in the magnetosphere of Ganymede and show

Statistical analysis of magnetopause crossings at lunar distances [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2019 Different magnetopause models with a diverse level of complexity are in use. One thing that they have in common is that they are mainly based on near-earth observations; i.e.

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.

Hybrid-Vlasov modeling of three-dimensional dayside magnetopause reconnection
, 2020 Dayside magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, which is a major driver of space weather, is studied for the first time in a three-dimensional (3D) realistic setup using a hybrid-Vlasov kinetic model.

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.

Enhanced electron mixing and heating in 3‐D asymmetric reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause [PDF]
, 2017 Electron heating and mixing during asymmetric reconnection are studied with a 3‐D kinetic simulation that matches plasma parameters from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft observations of a magnetopause diffusion region.

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 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Interactions of solar wind dynamic pressure (SWDP) discontinuities with Earth's magnetosphere cause geomagnetic Sudden Commencements (SCs). Typically, positive/negative SCs occur at low latitudes due to enhancements/reductions in SWDP.

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 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Field‐line curvature scattering (FLCS) is believed to be the primary mechanism forming electron isotropy boundaries (IB) and can rapidly scatter relativistic electrons from the outer radiation belt. However, its direct and quantitative impact on controlling outer belt electron lifetimes has never been directly assessed.
