Magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling currents in Jupiter's middle magnetosphere: effect of precipitation-induced enhancement of the ionospheric Pedersen conductivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We consider the effect of precipitation-induced enhancement of the Jovian ionospheric Pedersen conductivity on the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling current system which is associated with the breakdown of the corotation of iogenic plasma in Jupiter's ...

Further investigation of the effect of upstream solar-wind fluctuations on solar-wind/magnetosphere coupling: Is the effect real?

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
There is a general consensus that fluctuations in the solar wind magnetic field and/or the Alfvenicity of the solar wind drive a solar wind-magnetosphere interaction.

Tracing solar wind plasma entry into the magnetosphere using ion-to-electron temperature ratio [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
When the solar wind Mach number is low, typically such as in magnetic clouds, the physics of the bow shock leads to a downstream ion-to-electron temperature ratio that can be notably lower than usual.

ULF Waves Modulating and Acting as Mass Spectrometer for Dayside Ionospheric Outflow Ions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
Ionospheric outflow has been shown to be a dominant ion source of Earth's magnetosphere. However, most studies in the literature are about ionospheric outflow injected into the nightside magnetosphere.

SIMULATION STUDY OF THE ENERGETIC NEUTRAL ATOM (ENA) IMAGING MONITORING OF THE GEOMAGNETOSPHERE ON A LUNAR BASE

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2021
Since the moon’s revolution cycle is exactly the same as its rotation cycle, we can only see the moon always facing Earth in the same direction. Based on the clean particle radiation environment of the moon, a neutral atomic telemetry base station could ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Intensification of the Electron Zebra Stripes in the Earth's Inner Magnetosphere During Geomagnetic Storms

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
We examined rapid variations in the electron zebra stripe patterns, specifically at L = 1.5, over a three‐month duration, using twin Van Allen Probes within Earth's inner magnetosphere. During geomagnetically quiet intervals, these stripes exhibit a peak‐

Jovian Magnetospheric Injections Observed by the Hubble Space Telescope and Juno

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
We compare Hubble Space Telescope observations of Jupiter's FUV auroras with contemporaneous conjugate Juno in situ observations in the equatorial middle magnetosphere of Jupiter.

Magnetospheric substorms

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1968
The magnetospheric substorm is perhaps the most widely known yet most poorly understood facet of magnetospheric disturbances. It is generally agreed that the substorm results from an explosive conversion of magnetic energy generated by the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.

Low‐dose X‐ray radiation induces an adaptive response: A potential countermeasure to galactic cosmic radiation exposure

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space exploration involves many dangers including galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). This class of radiation includes high‐energy protons and heavy ionizing ions. NASA has defined GCR as a carcinogenic risk for long‐duration space missions. To date, no clear strategy has been developed to counter chronic GCR exposure.
