Reconfiguration of Mercury's Exosphere During Strong Space Weather Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Mercury is exposed to various space weathering processes, which alter the surface and cause emission of atoms and molecules into the exosphere. The exosphere thus allows remote insights into the surface composition and erosion processes, with the emission of refractory elements such as Ca and Mg typically being dominated by micrometeoroid ...

Magnetic Reconnection Driven by the Impact of a Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract High‐speed jets (HSJs) are transient structures in the magnetosheath characterized by enhanced dynamic pressure. While recent studies report that HSJs trigger magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, whether they can directly drive reconnection within the magnetosheath remains an open question.

IMF By‐Controlled Dawn–Dusk and Hemispheric Asymmetries of Kelvin–Helmholtz Waves and Reconnection Geometry Under Negative Dipole Tilt

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Along with magnetic reconnection, Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) waves are the main mechanisms controlling the solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction, enabling plasma transport into the magnetosphere due to secondary reconnection, diffusion and wave‐particle interactions.

Oxygen Pickup Acceleration in the Plasma Mantle Associated With Traveling Flux‐Rope Structures

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract It is well known that, in the high‐altitude cusp and mantle regions, ionospheric‐origin outflowing oxygen (O+) ions are often energized through non‐adiabatic processes, among which cyclotron resonance is considered a major mechanism. Here, based on Cluster observations, we present evidence that pickup acceleration also operates as a non ...

On the Effects of the Solar Wind Structure in the Global Distribution of dBH/dt ${\text{dB}}_{H}/\text{dt}$ Spikes During Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Variations in the solar wind, particularly those associated with interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and high‐speed streams (HSSs), drive geomagnetic disturbances that produce rapid changes in the ground magnetic field. These variations, commonly quantified by the time derivative of the horizontal magnetic field dBH/dt $\left({\text ...

Investigating Galactic Cosmic Ray Ionization’s Contribution to Aerosol Formation on Neptune and a Potential Link to the Relationship Between Brightness and Solar Activity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In this work we investigate how ionization from Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) can affect aerosol nucleation on Neptune and discuss potential implications for the observed brightness variations that appear to follow the solar cycle. We calculate the planetary vertical cutoff rigidity for Neptune based on the O8 ${\mathrm{O}}_{8}$ magnetic field ...

Polar, Cluster and SuperDARN evidence for high latitude merging during southward IMF: temporal/spatial evolution [PDF]

, 2003
Magnetic merging on the dayside magnetopause often occurs at high latitudes. Polar measured fluxes of accelerated ions and wave Poynting vectors while skimming the subsolar magnetopause.

Magnetopause location modeling using machine learning: inaccuracy due to solar wind parameter propagation

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
An intrinsic limitation of empirical models of the magnetopause location is a predefined magnetopause shape and assumed functional dependences on relevant parameters.

Forecasting Geomagnetically Induced Currents From Solar Wind and Geoelectric Field Data Using Deep Learning: Application in Fujian, China

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We developed a multi‐module convolutional neural network combined with a multi‐head attention mechanism (MM‐CNN‐MHA) to forecast geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) at the Huangmeishan (HMS) 220‐kV substation in Fujian Province, China.

Transport of Mirror Mode Structures through Saturn’s Magnetopause Reconnection

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetopause reconnection plays a significant role in transferring plasma and energy from the solar wind to planetary magnetospheres. Using a Cassini measurement, we reported a magnetopause reconnection at Saturn, identified by the Hall magnetic field ...
