The Dynamic Response of Jovian Magnetotail Reconnection to Enhanced Solar Wind Ram Pressure
The Astrophysical JournalIn this study, we employ the Grid Agnostic Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) for Extended Research Applications (GAMERA), a high-resolving-power, three-dimensional global MHD model, to simulate magnetotail reconnection in Jupiter's magnetosphere.

PIC Simulations of Overstretched Ion‐Scale Current Sheets in the Magnetotail
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Onset of reconnection in the tail requires the current sheet thickness to be of the order of the ion thermal gyroradius or smaller. However, existing isotropic plasma models cannot explain the formation of such thin sheets at distances where the X‐lines ...

Testing adiabatic models of energetic electron acceleration at dipolarization fronts
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Betatron acceleration is commonly cited as a primary accelerator of energetic electrons at dipolarization fronts, and many case studies compare observed energetic electrons measurements to a betatron model.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page i-xiv., 2021 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.

Density and temperature of energetic electrons in the Earth's magnetotail derived from high-latitude GPS observations during the declining phase of the solar cycle [PDF]
, 2011 Single relativistic-Maxwellian fits are made to high-latitude GPS-satellite observations of energetic electrons for the period January 2006-November 2010; a constellation of 12 GPS space vehicles provides the observations. The derived fit parameters (for

Northward field excursions in Saturn's magnetotail and their relationship to magnetospheric periodicities [PDF]
, 2009 We present results from an investigation of Cassini encounters with Saturn's magnetotail current sheet, using magnetic field and plasma data. In the first of two intervals shown, small periodic changes in the north-south component of the magnetic field ...

Juno Observations of Ion‐Inertial Scale Flux Ropes in the Jovian Magnetotail
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Two ion‐inertial scale magnetic flux ropes are identified in the Juno magnetic field measurements in the dawnside Jovian magnetotail. Previously reported plasmoids in this region had typical diameters of several Jovian radii (RJ).
