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.

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.

Recent advances in giant planetary space environments
Among the eight solar system planets, Jupiter and Saturn are the two most giant planets, which also have the most prominent magnetic moments. Comparing to the Earth dipole magnetic field, the magnetic moment of Saturn is about 600 times larger while ...

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.

The Earth’s Magnetosphere: A Systems Science Overview and Assessment
A systems science examination of the Earth’s fully interconnected dynamic magnetosphere is presented. Here the magnetospheric system (a.k.a. the magnetosphere–ionosphere–thermosphere system) is considered to be comprised of 14 interconnected subsystems ...

The plasmas (electrons and ions) in the inner magnetosphere have wide energy ranges from electron volts to mega-electron volts (MeV). These plasmas rotate around the Earth longitudinally due to the gradient and curvature of the geomagnetic field and by ...

Generation of high-energy particles, neutrino and fotons in magnetosphere of collapsing star
The generation of particles, photons and neutrinos in magnetosphere of collapsing star are considered. These processes are caused the self-interaction initial accelerating in magnetosphere protons and electrons.

How the IMF By induces a By component in the closed magnetosphere and how it leads to asymmetric currents and convection patterns in the two hemispheres [PDF]
We used the Lyon‐Fedder‐Mobarry global magnetohydrodynamics model to study the effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By component on the coupling between the solar wind and magnetosphere‐ionosphere system.
