Kinetic‐Scale Turbulence in the Venusian Magnetosheath [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Abstract While not specifically designed as a planetary mission, NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission uses a series of Venus gravity assists (VGAs) in order to reduce its perihelion distance. These orbital maneuvers provide the opportunity for direct measurements of the Venus plasma environment at high cadence.

Turbulence in the near-Venusian space: Venus Express observations
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020 With Venus Express magnetic field measurements at 32 Hz from 2006 to 2012, we investigate statistically the magnetic fluctuations in the near-Venusian space.

Magnetosheath waves under very low solar wind dynamic pressure: Wind/Geotail observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2005 The expanded bow shock on and around "the day the solar wind almost disappeared" (11 May 1999) allowed the Geotail spacecraft to make a practically uninterrupted 54-h-long magnetosheath pass near dusk (16:30-21:11 magnetic local time) at a radial ...

Energetic Electron Pitch-angle Distributions in the Martian Space Environment: Pancake
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We perform a statistical investigation of the occurrence rates of energetic electron (100–500 eV) pancake pitch-angle distributions (PADs) in the Martian space environment by utilizing 6 yr of MAVEN data. In the Martian ionosphere, we find the following:

Cluster observations of bounday layer structure and a flux transfer event near the cusp [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2005 On the 25th January 2002 between 10:00 and 12:00 UT, the four Cluster spacecraft passed through the northern high-latitude cusp, the dayside magnetosphere and into the magnetosheath in a linear formation.

Three-dimensional Global Hybrid Simulation of Magnetosheath Jets at Mercury
The Astrophysical Journal LettersPlasma high-speed jets are common in Earth’s magnetosheath, and they significantly perturb the magnetosheath and affect the magnetosphere. The space environment of Mercury, characterized by the bow shock, magnetosheath, and magnetosphere, shares many ...

Unveiling the 3D Structure of Magnetosheath Jets
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT Magnetosheath jets represent localized enhancements in dynamic pressure observed within the magnetosheath. These energetic entities, carrying excess energy and momentum, can impact the magnetopause and disrupt the magnetosphere.

Mirror waves and mode transition observed in the magnetosheath by Double Star TC-1 [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 The Double Star TC-1 magnetosheath pass on 26 February 2004 is used to investigate magnetic field fluctuations. Strong compressional signatures which last for more than an hour have been found near the magnetopause behind a quasi-perpendicular bow ...
