Dissipative Pulsar Magnetosphere [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2008 Dissipative axisymmetric pulsar magnetosphere is calculated by a direct numerical simulation of the Strong-Field Electrodynamics equations. The magnetic separatrix disappears, it is replaced by a region of enhanced dissipation.

Global-scale magnetosphere convection driven by dayside magnetic reconnection
Nature CommunicationsPlasma convection on a global scale is a fundamental feature of planetary magnetosphere. The Dungey cycle explains that steady-state convection within the closed part of the magnetosphere relies on magnetic reconnection in the nightside magnetospheric ...

Ab-initio pulsar magnetosphere: three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of axisymmetric pulsars [PDF]
, 2014 We perform first-principles relativistic particle-in-cell simulations of aligned pulsar magnetosphere. We allow free escape of particles from the surface of a neutron star and continuously populate the magnetosphere with neutral pair plasma to imitate ...

What Controls the Structure and Dynamics of Earth's Magnetosphere? [PDF]
, 2015 Unlike most cosmic plasma structures, planetary magnetospheres can be extensively studied in situ. In particular, studies of the Earth’s magnetosphere over the past few decades have resulted in a relatively good experimental understanding of both its ...

Review of Mercury’s dynamic magnetosphere: Post-MESSENGER era and comparative magnetospheres [PDF]
Science China. Earth Sciences, 2021 This review paper summarizes the research of Mercury’s magnetosphere in the Post-MESSENGER era and compares its dynamics to those in other planetary magnetospheres, especially to those in Earth’s magnetosphere.

Fast Radio Bursts from Reconnection in a Magnetar Magnetosphere [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The nearly 100% linear polarization has been reported for a few fast radio bursts (FRBs). This finding places severe limits on the emission mechanism.

Controlling of merging electric field and IMF magnitude on storm-time changes in thermospheric mass density [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2013 The controls of merging electrical field, Em, and IMF (interplanetary magnetic field) magnitude, B, on the storm-time changes in upper thermospheric mass density are statistically investigated using GRACE accelerometer observations and the OMNI data ...

Observations of a Mini‐Magnetosphere Above the Martian Crustal Magnetic Fields
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Mars is typically regarded as a non‐magnetic planet. Currents in the Martian ionosphere generate a Venus‐like induced magnetosphere which deflects the solar wind flows and piles up the interplanetary magnetic fields.

Impacts of ionospheric plasma on magnetic reconnection and Earth's magnetosphere dynamics
, 2021 Ionospheric ions (mainly H+, He+ and O+) escape from the ionosphere and populate the Earth’s magnetosphere. Their thermal energies are usually low when they first escape the ionosphere, typically a few eV to tens of eV, but are energized in their journey
