Electron–Positron Pair Flow and Current Composition in the Pulsar Magnetosphere [PDF]
We perform ab initio particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a pulsar magnetosphere with electron–positron plasma produced only in the regions close to the neutron star surface.

Several machine learning algorithms and feature subsets from a variety of particle and magnetic field instruments on-board the Cassini spacecraft were explored for their utility in classifying orbit segments as magnetosphere, magnetosheath or solar wind.

The Magnetospheric Trough [PDF]
The authors review the history of the concepts of the magnetospheric cold-ion trough and hot-electron trough and conclude that the two regions are actually essentially the same. The magnetospheric trough may be viewed as a temporal state in the evolution of convecting flux tubes.

Is the Solar Wind Electron Strahl a Seed Population for the Earth’s Electron Radiation Belt?
1) Since the outer electron radiation belt is lost on occasion, the radiation belt needs seed electrons to rebuild. 2) The clear candidate for that seed population is energetic substorm-injected electrons in the dipolar magnetosphere.

The magnetosphere as a complex system [PDF]
The magnetosphere is a complex system, with multi-scale spatio-temporal behavior. Self-organization is a possible solution to two seemingly contradicting observations: (a) the repeatable and coherent substorm phenomena, and, (b) the underlying self-similar turbulent behavior in the plasma sheet.

Synchronous globally observable ultrashort-period pulses
We have studied the properties of impulsive geomagnetic disturbances, which are observed synchronously at the network of induction magnetometers of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP SB RAS) and Canadian stations of the CARISMA project ...

MESSENGER Observations and Global Simulations of Highly Compressed Magnetosphere Events at Mercury
We identify and examine all MErcury Surface Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) crossings of Mercury's dayside magnetopause with magnetospheric field intensities ≥300 nT.

On the Heating of AGN Magnetospheres [PDF]
The Langmuir–Landau-Centrifugal Drive (LLCD), which can effectively “convert” gravitational energy into particles, is explored as a driving mechanism responsible for the extreme thermal luminosity acquired by some active galactic nuclei (AGN). For this purpose, we consider equations governing the process of heating of AGN magnetospheres. In particular,

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

ULTRA LOW FREQUENCY EMISSIONS RANGING FROM 0.1 TO 3 Hz IN CIRCUMPOLAR AREAS
We examine the characteristics of oscillations of two types in the high-frequency edge of the ULF range (0.1–3 Hz), serpentine emission (SE), and discrete frequency dispersed signals (DS).
