Investigation of the occurrence of significant deviations in the magnetopause location: solar-wind and foreshock effects [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
Common magnetopause models can predict the location of the magnetopause with respect to upstream conditions from different sets of input parameters, including solar-wind pressure and the interplanetary magnetic field.

The Comprehensive Response of the Magnetopause to the Impact of an Isolated Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Geophysical Research Letters
The magnetopause is the boundary between the Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind. Magnetosheath high‐speed jets can impact the magnetopause, causing local indentation and subsequently rebound.

Variability in Saturn's bow shock and magnetopause from pioneer and voyager: Probabilistic predictions and initial observations by Cassini [PDF]

, 2005
Probability distributions for the location of the Saturnian bow shock and magnetopause have been derived by extrapolating observations of dynamic solar wind pressures to the position of Saturn's orbit. These observations are those made by the Pioneer 11,

Variations of Mid‐Magnetotail Magnetic Pressure During Substorms

Geophysical Research Letters
Magnetic reconnection is commonly observed in the mid‐tail plasma sheet during substorms, the mechanism behind this spatial preference, however, remains unsolved.

Estimating the subsolar magnetopause position from soft X-ray images using a low-pass image filter

Earth and Planetary Physics
The Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) and Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) missions will image the Earth’s dayside magnetopause and cusps in soft X-rays after their respective launches in the near future, to ...

Occurrence of Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability at Lunar Distance Magnetopause: ARTEMIS Observation

The Astrophysical Journal
Kelvin–Helmholtz waves can be observed frequently at the near-Earth magnetopause and play an important role in the transport of particles, momentum, and energy from the solar wind to the magnetosphere.

Interplanetary magnetic field rotations followed from L1 to the ground : the response of the Earth's magnetosphere as seen by multi-spacecraft and ground-based observations [PDF]

, 2011
A study of the interaction of solar wind magnetic field rotations with the Earth's magnetosphere is performed. For this event there is, for the first time, a full coverage over the dayside magnetosphere with multiple (multi)spacecraft missions from dawn ...

The Electric Properties of the Magnetopause Boundary Layer

Magnetochemistry
The magnetopause plays a pivotal role in the coupling among solar wind, the magnetosheath, and the magnetosphere. By analyzing magnetopause crossing events using MMS, we reveal a local non-neutrality of electric charges in the magnetopause boundary layer
