Revealing the Formation of the <20 MeV Inner Proton Radiation Belt at L ∼ 2 During the 10–11 May 2024 Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract A new proton radiation belt was identified during the geomagnetic superstorm of 10–11 May 2024. To investigate its origin, we use an MHD‐test particle simulation to model solar energetic proton (SEP) trapping and the evolution of the initial trapped proton population during the storm.

Investigating the Occurrence of Magnetic Reconnection at Jupiter's Dawn Magnetopause During the Juno Era

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
In this study, observations from the Jovian auroral distributions experiment, Jupiter energetic particle detector instrument, and Magnetic field investigation instruments on Juno are used to identify signatures of magnetic reconnection at Jupiter's dawn ...

Open Magnetic Field Lines Partition Auroral Oval Segments Into Transpolar Arcs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Transpolar arcs (TPAs) are auroral structures spanning the polar cap. One type appears in conjugate hemispheres and is thought to be located on closed field lines, but how closed flux enters the open polar cap remains debated. We address this using observation and simulation of conjugate TPAs after an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By ...

Interplanetary Shock‐Induced Magnetopause Motion: Comparison Between Theory and Global Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
The magnetopause marks the outer edge of the Earth's magnetosphere and a distinct boundary between solar wind and magnetospheric plasma populations. In this study, we use global magnetohydrodynamic simulations to examine the response of the terrestrial ...

Global Occurrence of Solitary Waves in the Martian Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract This letter presents a global occurrence of bipolar solitary waves (SWs) in the Martian magnetosphere. We utilized medium‐frequency electric field measurements from October 2014 to December 2023 from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft.

Plasma Stability in Turbulent Magnetic Flux Ropes Downstream of a Collisionless Shock

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract How pre‐existing solar wind turbulence, and coherent structures such as magnetic flux ropes within it, influence the transition of plasma across a shock is still poorly understood. Recently, in situ observations from the Earth's magnetosheath have been used to study plasma stability against ion kinetic instabilities. In the turbulent flow, the

Sub‐MeV Electron Precipitation Driven by EMIC Waves: New Insights From CIRBE/REPTile‐2 Measurements

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are recognized as a key driver of relativistic (>1 MeV) electron loss in Earth's magnetosphere. Growing evidence also suggests that EMIC wave can efficiently scatter sub‐MeV electrons, although the precise energy range and the underlying physical mechanisms remain debated.

Prediction of Axial Asymmetry in Jovian Magnetopause Reconnection

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
We show the possible existence of a significant axial asymmetry in the reconnection separator at the Jovian magnetopause using first‐principle, physics‐based global simulations. Under eastward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions near Jupiter's

First Observation of Sawtooth‐Like Undulations in Afternoon Detached Auroral Arcs Modulated by Surface Waves at the Plasmaspheric Plume Boundary

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The afternoon detached auroral arc is an important phenomenon in the subauroral region, reflecting coupling processes between the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Previous studies have not identified fine‐scale structures in such arcs, leaving the dynamics underlying their formation poorly understood.

Magnetopause energy and mass transfer: results from a global MHD simulation [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2006
We use the global MHD model GUMICS-4 to investigate the energy and mass transfer through the magnetopause and towards the closed magnetic field as a response to the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) clock angle θ=arctan (BY/BZ), IMF magnitude ...
