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:

A maximum spreading speed for magnetopause reconnection [PDF]
, 2018 Past observations and numerical modeling find magnetic reconnection to initiate at a localized region and then spread along a current sheet. The rate of spreading has been proposed to be controlled by a number of mechanisms based on the properties within

Geoeffectiveness of Magnetosheath Jets
, 2020 <p>The study on high speed plasma flows in the Earth&#8217;s magnetosheath, or commonly known as jets, has been a popular topic for discussion in recent decades. These jets can often be characterised by increases in the dynamic pressure compared to the background plasma.

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.

Windsock memory conditioned RAM (Co-Ram) pressure effect: forced reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail [PDF]
, 2014 Magnetic reconnection (MR) is a key physical concept explaining the addition of magnetic flux to the magnetotail and closed flux lines back-motion to the dayside magnetosphere. This scenario elaborated by \citet{dung63}, can explain many aspects of solar
