Ab-initio pulsar magnetosphere: three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of axisymmetric pulsars [PDF]
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 ...

Review of Mercury’s dynamic magnetosphere: Post-MESSENGER era and comparative magnetospheres [PDF]
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]
The nearly 100% linear polarization has been reported for a few fast radio bursts (FRBs). This finding places severe limits on the emission mechanism.

Impacts of ionospheric plasma on magnetic reconnection and Earth's magnetosphere dynamics
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

Ionospheric conductance distribution and MHD wave structure: observation and model [PDF]
The ionosphere influences magnetohydrodynamic waves in the magnetosphere by damping because of Joule heating and by varying the wave structure itself.

Six pieces of evidence against the corotation enforcement theory to explain the main aurora at Jupiter [PDF]
The most remarkable feature of the ultraviolet auroras at Jupiter is the ever present and almost continuous curtain of bright emissions centered on each magnetic pole and called the main emissions.

Mars’s magnetosphere is hybrid, having contributions from both an induced magnetosphere like Venus and the localized crustal magnetic fields. However, the planetary fields also include large-scale, more global components.

Organization of the magnetosphere during substorms [PDF]
The change in degree of organization of the magnetosphere during substorms is investigated by analyzing various geomagnetic indices, as well as interplanetary magnetic field z-component and solar wind flow speed.

Noise, Regression Dilution Bias, and Solar-Wind/Magnetosphere Coupling Studies
Using numerical experiments, the effects of noise in the solar-wind and magnetospheric data on fits to the data are examined. In particular, the impact of noise amplitude on the functional forms of best-fit solar-wind driver functions is explored.

Solar wind entry into the high-latitude terrestrial magnetosphere during geomagnetically quiet times [PDF]
An understanding of the transport of solar wind plasma into and throughout the terrestrial magnetosphere is crucial to space science and space weather. For non-active periods, there is little agreement on where and how plasma entry into the magnetosphere
