Saturn's Auroral Dusk Sector Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Coupling During Cassini's Proximal Orbits

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The final twenty‐two low‐altitude passes of the Cassini spacecraft enabled the determination of Saturn's field‐aligned currents (FACs) from magnetometer measurements at lower altitudes than previously achieved. We investigate southern dusk‐side FAC behavior with four objectives: how in situ MAG measurements compare to the highly variable ...

Uranus's Highly Nonaxisymmetric Magnetopause and Its Impact on Magnetic Reconnection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mass and energy fluxes from the solar wind can access a planet's magnetosphere through dayside magnetic reconnection. The plasma and magnetic field conditions on either side of the magnetopause determine whether reconnection is suppressed. However, magnetosheath conditions are sensitive to the shape of the magnetopause, and deviations from ...

Global Characterization of the Compressional Components of Magnetic Wave Activity in Mercury's Foreshock Region

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mercury's weak intrinsic magnetic field forms a small magnetosphere and thus a bow shock that decelerates the supermagnetosonic solar wind and reflects particles upstream, forming a foreshock in the quasi‐parallel region. This region is populated by backstreaming ions and electrons and associated wave activity.

Plasma Waves Can Gain Energy from Neutrals in Partially Ionized Plasmas

The Astrophysical Journal
Partially ionized plasmas are widely present in astrophysical and space plasmas, and ion-neutral collisions have an important impact on the plasma dynamics, such as electrostatic wave propagation.

Rapid Magnetotail Reconfiguration and Ion‐Scale Wave Activity at Mercury

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mercury's magnetosphere is an extremely dynamic environment, where substorm‐like activity, including dipolarization fronts and particle acceleration, periodically disrupts the stability and radial extent of the closed field line region. The common narrowband ∼1 Hz waves at Mercury, near the local proton gyrofrequency are preferentially ...

Spatiotemporal Variations of Temperature in Jupiter’s Upper Atmosphere

The Planetary Science Journal
Global temperatures in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere are poorly constrained. Other than an in situ measurement by the Galileo Probe, all temperature data come from remote-sensing methods that primarily rely on emissions from H ${}_{3}^{+}$ , the dominant ...

Electron‐Driven Instabilities in Jupiter's Magnetodisc

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Thermal electrons in Jupiter's magnetodisc have been observed to be anisotropic with higher parallel temperature compared to perpendicular. In this work, we used previously‐derived electron properties (Sarkango et al., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025gl118209) to calculate electron β‖ ${\beta }_{\Vert }$ and compared the observed anisotropy ...

Model Predictive Traction and Steering Control of Planetary Rovers [PDF]

, 2013
Results of the ESA project RobMPC (Robust Model Predictive Control for Space Constraint Systems) could successfully demonstrate that model predictive control (MPC) is definitively applicable for space systems with high dynamics like wheeled vehicles ...
