Empirical Results on the Magnetic Prandtl Number in the Slow Solar Wind Based on In Situ Measurements

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The magnetic Prandtl number in the slow solar wind is estimated by using magnetic and velocity Reynolds numbers. The Prandtl number quantifies the ratio of kinetic to magnetic diffusion rates in a plasma, and indicates which process dominates the transport dynamics in a fluid.

MHD waves in the pre-front region of the interplanetary shock on May 10, 2024

Solar-Terrestrial Physics
The article reports on the study of the dynamics of the IMF turbulent component from the quiet period on May 7, 2024 to the arrival of an interplanetary shock wave in the second half of May 10, 2024.

Whistler‐Mode Waves in the Density Double Ducts

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract We report the recent observation of a density duct structure in the equatorial plasmasphere, identified using data from the NASA Van Allen Probes (RBSP). The structure consists of a low‐density duct located above a high‐density duct, forming a “double duct” system capable of simultaneously trapping and guiding multiple whistler‐mode waves at ...

Generalised global symmetries in holography: magnetohydrodynamic waves in a strongly interacting plasma

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We begin the exploration of holographic duals to theories with generalised global (higher-form) symmetries. In particular, we focus on the case of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in strongly coupled plasmas by constructing and analysing a holographic dual to ...

Numerical Simulation of Coronal Waves interacting with Coronal Holes: I. Basic Features

, 2017
We developed a new numerical code that is able to perform 2.5D simulations of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave propagation in the corona, and its interaction with a low density region, such as a coronal hole (CH).

Galileo PLS Plasma Observations During the E12 Europa Flyby Refuting an Encounter With a Cryovolcanic Plume

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract During Galileo's closest (“E12”) flyby of Europa, a brief burst of wave activity was recorded by the plasma wave instrumentation, PWS. This was speculatively interpreted by Jia et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550‐018‐0450‐z) as a 2,100 cm−3 spike in plasma densities from a water plume encounter. While the plasma instrument, PLS, could

Poynting Flux of MHD Modes in Magnetic Solar Vortex Tubes

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetic flux tubes in the presence of background rotational flows, known as solar vortex tubes, are abundant throughout the solar atmosphere and may act as conduits for MHD waves to transport magnetic energy to the upper solar atmosphere.

Spectral Properties and Energy Injection in Mercury's Magnetotail Current Sheet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Mercury's magnetotail hosts a thin and highly dynamic current sheet (CS), where magnetic reconnection and strong fluctuations frequently occur. Here, we statistically analyze magnetic field power spectra across 370 magnetotail CSs observed by MESSENGER.

Martian Atmospheric Loss Through Foreshock Transient Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract At Mars, the MAVEN spacecraft has made observations of Hot Flow Anomalies (HFAs) in the foreshock. Due to the bow shock's proximity to the planet, it is theorized that HFAs contribute to atmospheric escape at Mars through the excavation of ionospheric ions.

Angular Momentum Transport in Accretion Disk Boundary Layers Around Weakly Magnetized Stars

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The standard model for turbulent shear viscosity in accretion disks is based on the assumption that angular momentum transport is opposite to the radial angular frequency gradient of the disk. This implies that the turbulent stress must be negative and
