Solar Wind–Magnetosphere Coupling by the Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability at Mercury
The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) has been considered important in the energy transfer and momentum coupling between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres.

Acceleration in Exoplanet Magnetospheres
We briefly review the various acceleration mechanisms working in exoplanetary magnetospheres. The proposed scenarios are based on the investigation of planetary magnetospheres of the Solar System. Primary attention is paid to Earth and Jupiter, as the most characteristic examples of the various types of magnetospheric features determining different ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Main statistical properties of hectometric continuum radiation in near-Earth space
In this work, we have studied the recently discovered hectometric continuum radiation in near-Earth plasma. We have carried out a detailed statistical analysis of the occurrence of a hectometric continuum near Earth at distances 1.1–2 Re, where Re is the

Magnetic signatures of plasma-depleted flux tubes in the Saturnian inner magnetosphere [PDF]
Initial Cassini observations have revealed evidence for interchanging magnetic flux tubes in the inner Saturnian magnetosphere. Some of the reported flux tubes differ remarkably by their magnetic signatures, having a depressed or enhanced magnetic ...

Solar wind dependence of ion parameters in the earth's magnetospheric region calculated from CLUSTER observations [PDF]
Moments calculated from the ion distributions (~0–40 keV) measured by the Cluster Ion Spectrometry (CIS) instrument are combined with data from the Cluster Flux Gate Magnetometer (FGM) instrument and used to characterise the bulk properties of the plasma

Transport of Mirror Mode Structures through Saturn’s Magnetopause Reconnection
Magnetopause reconnection plays a significant role in transferring plasma and energy from the solar wind to planetary magnetospheres. Using a Cassini measurement, we reported a magnetopause reconnection at Saturn, identified by the Hall magnetic field ...

Electron radiation belt dynamics during magnetic storms and in quiet time
The paper discusses the outer electron belt dynamics, adiabatic and nonadiabatic mechanisms of increases and losses of energetic electrons. Under undisturbed conditions, the outer electron belt gradually empties: in the inner magnetosphere due to ...

Magnetospheric convection electric field dynamics and stormtime particle energization: Case study of the magnetic storm of 4 May 1998 [PDF]
International audienceIt is shown that narrow channels of high electric field are an effective mechanism for injecting plasma into the inner magnetosphere. Analytical expressions for the electric field cannot produce these channels of intense plasma flow,

Global MHD simulations of Saturns's magnetosphere at the time of Cassini approach [PDF]
We present the results of a 3D global magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the magnetosphere of Saturn for the period of Cassini's initial approach and entry into the magnetosphere. We compare calculated bow shock and magnetopause locations with the Cassini
