The IMF Clock Angle Effect on the Tail Cross Section of the Martian Magnetic Pileup Boundary and Bow Shock

The Astrophysical Journal
Using a three-dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation model, we investigate the effects of different interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) clock angles on the tail configuration of the Martian magnetic pileup boundary (MPB) and bow shock ...

HST/WFPC2 and VLT/ISAAC observations of PROPLYDS in the giant HII region NGC 3603

, 1999
We report the discovery of three proplyd-like structures in the giant HII region NGC 3603. The emission nebulae are clearly resolved in narrow-band and broad-band HST/WFPC2 observations in the optical and broad-band VLT/ISAAC observations in the near ...

Reconnection along a Separator in Shock Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal
Numerous structures conducive to magnetic reconnection are frequently observed in the turbulent regions at quasi-parallel shocks. In this work, we use a particle-in-cell simulation to study 3D magnetic reconnection in shock turbulence.

The Importance of Heat Flux in Low-Mach-number, Quasi-parallel Collisionless Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
Collisionless plasma shocks are a common feature of many space and astrophysical systems. They are sources of high-energy particles and nonthermal emission, channeling as much as 20% of the shock’s energy into nonthermal particles.

The Influence of Interplanetary Magnetic Field Orientations on the Martian Bow Shock and Magnetosheath Magnetic Field

The Astrophysical Journal
Unlike Earth, Mars lacks a global intrinsic magnetic field but has regional crustal magnetic fields concentrated in its southern hemisphere. This unique configuration leads to distinctive interactions with the solar wind.

Three-dimensional Global Hybrid Simulation of Magnetosheath Jets at Mercury

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Plasma high-speed jets are common in Earth’s magnetosheath, and they significantly perturb the magnetosheath and affect the magnetosphere. The space environment of Mercury, characterized by the bow shock, magnetosheath, and magnetosphere, shares many ...
