Electron Dispersion at the Electron Edge of the Earth's Magnetospheric Cusp
Abstract The Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission observes electron energy‐latitude dispersion at the equatorward edge of the magnetospheric cusp, and high‐cadence Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) measurements resolve the dispersed edge. The inverse velocity dispersion (low energy before high energy)

Magnetic Rope Is an Electron Selector: Discovery in Space and Conceptual Application to Medicine
Abstract Magnetic rope is a helical structure existing ubiquitously in astrophysical and space plasmas. Such structure has been conventionally known to accelerate electrons, convert energy, and play key roles in driving solar eruptions. Here, in contrast to the conventional concept, we report that the magnetic rope can divert electrons efficiently in ...

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

The Electric Properties of the Magnetopause Boundary Layer
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

Observations of the Crustal Mini-magnetopause Reconnection at Mars
Magnetopause reconnection is a fundamental mechanism for mass and energy transfer in terrestrial planetary systems. Unlike Earth, Mars lacks a global magnetic field and instead has localized crustal magnetic fields, which can create structures ...

A linear perturbation analysis of magnetopause motion in the Newton-Busemann limit
The response of the magnetopause surface to time-varying solar wind dynamic pressure is examined. We argue that to a first approximation the magnetopause surface may be considered as analogous to an elastic membrane.
