Merton Davies (1917-2001) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Merton Davies passed away unexpectedly in April at age 83 due to complications from surgery. He will be remembered for establishing the prime meridian for essentially every solid planet in the solar system with the exception of Earth and Pluto.

Dusty plasma in space [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 1998
Dusty plasmas consist of electrons, ions and charged dust particles observed in several astro-and space-physical environments such as nebulas, cometary tails, planetary rings, and planetary ionospheres.

Martian Crustal Magnetic Field Effects on the Ionospheric Main Peak

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Planetary magnetic fields can affect ionospheric plasma transport and coupling with the solar wind. In contrast to the terrestrial global magnetic field, there are only weaker and sporadic crustal magnetic fields on Mars. Many studies have indicated that

Observation of CO2++ dication in the dayside Martian upper atmosphere

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2020
Doubly charged positive ions (dications) are an important component of planetary ionospheres because of the large energy required for their formation.

Experimental Study of the Response of Sheared E × B Flow to Varying Ion–Neutral Collisions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Partially ionized plasma is a common occurrence in astrophysical and space environments. The emergence and development of plasma instabilities are significantly impacted by the inelastic collisions between the ions and neutrals in the partially ionized ...

Evaluation of Particle Scattering by Locally Generated Fast Magnetosonic Waves in the Martian Ionosphere

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Locally generated fast magnetosonic (local MS) waves in the Martian ionosphere have been reported recently, which are different from the solar wind‐driven MS waves. However, their effects on particle scattering have not been reported yet. This study pioneers the investigation of electron, proton, and oxygen atomic ion scattering induced by ...

Dawn‐Side Anomaly in Sudden Geomagnetic Field Responses to Solar Wind Pressure Discontinuities During the 10 May and 10 October 2024 Geomagnetic Storms

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Interactions of solar wind dynamic pressure (SWDP) discontinuities with Earth's magnetosphere cause geomagnetic Sudden Commencements (SCs). Typically, positive/negative SCs occur at low latitudes due to enhancements/reductions in SWDP.

Occultations of Astrophysical Radio Sources as Probes of Planetary Environments: A Case Study of Jupiter and Possible Applications to Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Properties of planetary atmospheres, ionospheres, and magnetospheres are difficult to measure from Earth. Radio occultations are a common method for measuring these properties, but they traditionally rely on radio transmissions from a spacecraft near the
