On strangelets in magnetosphere [PDF]
A short discussion is provided on the hypothesis of strange quark dust of low specific charge in the terrestrial magnetosphere. We suggest by means of rough estimates the possible existence of a strangelet belt in the magnetosphere.

Mini-magnetospheres and Moon-magnetosphere interactions: Overview Moon-magnetosphere Interactions [PDF]
"Moon-magnetosphere interaction" stands for the interaction of magnetospheric plasma with an orbiting moon. Observations and modeling of moon-magnetosphere interaction is a highly interesting area of space physics because it helps to better understand the basic physics of plasma flows in the universe and it provides geophysical information about the ...

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

The Coughing Pulsar Magnetosphere [PDF]
Polar magnetospheric gaps consume a fraction of the electric potential that develops accross open field lines. This effect modifies significantly the structure of the axisymmetric pulsar magnetosphere. We present numerical stead-state solutions for various values of the gap potential.

Controlling of merging electric field and IMF magnitude on storm-time changes in thermospheric mass density [PDF]
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?
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
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
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
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.
