Electron Acceleration by Multiple Fast Fermi Reflections at Earth’s Bow Shock

The Astrophysical Journal
The generation of energetic particles in the Universe is an important topic in astrophysical and space physics. Although the diffusive shock acceleration has been acknowledged to play an essential role in particle acceleration, the injection problem has ...

Influence of the Eccentric Geomagnetic Dipole on Longitude Variations of Compressional Upstream Wave Amplitudes in the Topside Ionosphere: Results From the MSS‐1A Satellite

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Based on 2‐year magnetic data from the Macau science satellite, we investigate the compressional Pc3‐4 pulsations (between 16 and 100 mHz) driven by upstream waves (UWs). Our results confirm larger UWs amplitudes in the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) longitudes, agreeing with previous missions.

Asymmetrically Distributed Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability at Venusian Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The asymmetric distribution of Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) instability at Venusian ionopause is investigated using a multifluid model. Results show that KH instability distributes asymmetrically, preferentially developing in the −E (anti‐parallel to the interplanetary electric field) hemisphere.

Multimission Observations of Relativistic Electrons and High-speed Jets Linked to Shock-generated Transients

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Shock-generated transients, such as hot flow anomalies (HFAs), upstream of planetary bow shocks, play a critical role in electron acceleration. Using multimission data from NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale and ESA’s Cluster missions, we demonstrate the ...

The Formation of Crystalline Dust in AGB Winds from Binary Induced Spiral Shocks

, 2007
As stars evolve along the Asymptotic Giant Branch, strong winds are driven from the outer envelope. These winds form a shell, which may ultimately become a planetary nebula.

Daytime Ionospheric Density Enhancement Driven by Poleward Neutral Wind Shear Associated With Gravity Waves During the November 2025 Geomagnetic Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The threefold daytime electron density increases, along with strong poleward meridional winds exceeding 200 m/s were captured by Sanya Incoherent Scatter Radar (SYISR) during the geomagnetic storm of 12 November 2025. The great ionospheric enhancements were extending to mid‐latitudes over 40° observed by total electron content (TEC) from ...

Compressive Structures in the Foreshock of Collisionless Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Collisionless shocks are fundamental accelerators of energetic particles, yet the observations of nonlinear foreshock structures, which are essential in acceleration processes, differ significantly between interplanetary (IP) shocks and planetary bow ...

The Evolution of Hot Flow Anomalies in Martian Space Environment

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Hot Flow Anomalies (HFAs) are transient foreshock structures generated by solar wind discontinuity‐bow shock interactions, with their evolution only confirmed near Earth. Using MAVEN and Tianwen‐1 joint observations, we study the evolution of a Martian HFA event detected on 17 September 2022 (dayside by MAVEN, nightside by Tianwen‐1).

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 ...

Reconnection Preferentially Accelerates Light Ions at Ganymede's Magnetopause

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Juno's flyby of Ganymede revealed ion composition in its vicinity with the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment–Ion (JADE‐I) instrument. Throughout this flyby, we derive species‐resolved ion density and velocity moments by decomposing the time‐of‐flight data into contributions from individual ion species using species‐dependent fits.
