A statistical study of the global structure of the ring current [PDF]
[1] In this paper we derive the average configuration of the ring current as a function of the state of the magnetosphere as indicated by the Dst index.

Current sheets in planetary magnetospheres [PDF]
In this article we aim to highlight the problems related to the structure and stability of the comparatively thin current sheets that were relatively recently discovered by space missions in the magnetospheres of the Earth and planets, as well as in the solar wind.

The Shape of Strongly Disturbed Dayside Magnetopause
During strong geomagnetic disturbances, the Earth¡¦s magnetosphere exhibits unusual and nonlinear interaction with the incident flow of magnetized solar wind plasma. Global Magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) modeling of the magnetosphere predicts that the storm-

Auroral vortex street formed by the magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling instability [PDF]
By performing three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations including Alfvén eigenmode perturbations most unstable to the ionospheric feedback effects, we examined the auroral vortex street that often appears just before substorm onset.

Magnetosphere dynamics during the 14 November 2012 storm inferred from TWINS, AMPERE, Van Allen Probes, and BATS-R-US–CRCM [PDF]
During the 14 November 2012 geomagnetic storm, the Van Allen Probes spacecraft observed a number of sharp decreases (dropouts) in particle fluxes for ions and electrons of different energies.

Electrodynamics of Magnetars: Implications for the Persistent X-ray Emission and Spindown of the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars [PDF]
(ABBREVIATED) We consider the structure of neutron star magnetospheres threaded by large-scale electrical currents, and the effect of resonant Compton scattering by the charge carriers (both electrons and ions) on the emergent X-ray spectra and pulse ...

Morphology of the ring current derived from magnetic field observations [PDF]
Our examination of the 20 years of magnetospheric magnetic field data from ISEE, AMPTE/CCE and Polar missions has allowed us to quantify how the ring current flows and closes in the magnetosphere at a variety of disturbance levels.

Current controversies in magnetospheric physics [PDF]
The scientific ascent of humankind comes in two forms: incremental progress with traditional thinking, and paradigm transition. The latter typically engenders intense debate, often long lasting, before the transition of the paradigm is deemed acceptable.

Coherent Emission from Magnetars
It is proposed that magnetospheric currents above the surfaces of magnetars radiate coherent emission in analogy to pulsars. Scaling the magnetospheric parameters suggests that the coherent emission from magnetars would emerge in the infra-red or ...
