Global-scale magnetosphere convection driven by dayside magnetic reconnection [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

Is Our Understanding of Solar-Wind/Magnetosphere Coupling Satisfactory?
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 An assessment of our physics-based understanding of solar-wind/magnetosphere coupling finds that the understanding is not complete. Solar-wind/magnetosphere coupling is foundational to magnetospheric physics and it is a key to comprehending and ...

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.

Reconsideration on the concept model of throat aurora
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 The solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling driven by the solar wind is a systematic process that involves the buffering of magnetosheath and the response and feedback of magnetosphere and ionosphere.

Inner southern magnetosphere observation of Mercury via SERENA ion sensors in BepiColombo mission
Nature Communications, 2022 Mercury’s southern inner magnetosphere is an unexplored region as it was not observed by earlier space missions. In October 2021, BepiColombo mission has passed through this region during its first Mercury flyby.
