GOES‐R Series X‐Ray Sensor (XRS): 2. On‐Orbit Measurements and Calibrations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract An X‐Ray Sensor (XRS) has been onboard each of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) since 1975. XRS measures full‐disk soft X‐ray irradiance in two wavelength bands, 0.05–0.4 nm and 0.1–0.8 nm.

Separatrix regions of magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2009
Using data from the four Cluster spacecraft we study the separatrix regions of magnetic reconnection sites at the dayside magnetopause under conditions when reconnection is occurring in the magnetopause current layer which separates magnetosheath ...

Solar Wind‐Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Coupling During the October 2024 Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Two geomagnetic storms occurred in October 2024 (Oct 6‐9 and 10–12), driven by the impact of a series of interplanetary coronal mass ejections on the magnetosphere. The first was a moderate storm, with peak Sym‐H near −150 nT, whereas the second was intense, Sym‐H reaching −340 nT.

Collisionless reconnection: Mechanism of self-ignition in thin current sheets [PDF]

, 2010
The spontaneous onset of magnetic reconnection in thin collisionless current sheets is shown to result from a thermal-anisotropy driven magnetic Weibel-mode, generating seed-magnetic field {\sf X}-points in the centre of the current layer.Comment: 8 ...

Validation of VERB‐3D Simulation Results in Response to the COSPAR ISWAT Challenge

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In response to the first long‐term simulation challenge issued by the COSPAR International Space Weather Action Team (ISWAT) G3‐04 team (“Internal Charging Effects and the Relevant Space Environment”), we evaluate the performance of the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt‐3D model by simulating the radiation belt electron dynamics for the entire

High latitude magnetospheric topology and magnetospheric substorm [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2009
This study is focused on the problem of the localization of substorm expansion onset. In this context, the high latitude topology of transverse magnetospheric currents has been analyzed.

Simultaneous Compressive Kinetic‐Scale Fluctuations and Second‐Harmonic Proton Cyclotron Waves Inside a Martian Magnetosheath Structure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Mars directly interacts with the solar wind and hosts a complex plasma‐wave environment. Using MAVEN observations, we identify an event in the dusk‐side Martian magnetosheath where strongly compressive sub‐cyclotron kinetic‐scale fluctuations coexist with second‐harmonic proton cyclotron waves (PCWs).

On the Spin-Down of Intermittent Pulsars

, 2012
Magnetospheres of pulsars are thought to be filled with plasma, and variations in plasma supply can affect both pulsar emission properties and spin-down rates. A number of recently discovered "intermittent" pulsars switch between two distinct states: an "

Downward auroral currents from the reconnection Hall-region [PDF]

, 2011
We present a simple (stationary) mechanism capable of generating the auroral downward field-aligned electric field {that is} needed for {accelerating the ionospheric electron component up into the magnetosphere and confining the ionospheric ions at low ...

Magnetic Signatures of a Plasma Wake Behind the Swarm Satellites

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract This study provides first observational evidence of a plasma wake behind ESA's Swarm satellites, manifesting itself by a brief magnetic field strength spike and bipolar field variations in transverse direction. These magnetic signatures occur only near the dip‐equator where the magnetic declination is close to zero.
