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 ...

Electron Acceleration in Magnetic Islands in Quasi-parallel Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
We report new theories and simulations for electron acceleration in magnetic islands generated by magnetic reconnection in the shock turbulence in a quasi-parallel shock, using a 2 and 1/2 dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. When an island is moving,

Effects of Nonresonant Instability and Magnetic Reconnection on Ion Heating and Acceleration in Quasi-parallel Shock Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
To understand the ion injection for diffusive shock acceleration in space and astrophysical shock waves, such as in planetary bow shocks and supernova remnant shocks, ion heating and acceleration in high-Alfvén-Mach-number ( M _A ) quasi-parallel shock ...

Double Beam Instability for the Mercury Upstream Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
Mercury shock-upstream region is plasma physically of great interest, as the solar wind plasma may encounter two ion beams, forming a double-beam plasma system. Properties of the double-beam instability are studied semianalytically using the magnetoionic
