Energy Dependence of Energetic Electron Precipitation Rates Near the Foot of Electron Isotropy Boundary

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We report a rare quiet‐time observation by NOAA‐18 spacecraft flying nearly along the electron isotropy boundary (IBe). Complemented by data from four nearby meridional IBe crossings of other POES spacecraft, this case study provides a novel quantitative information concerning the regular energy dependence of the loss‐cone filling ratio (Jprec/

Vortex Dynamics in the Wake of Planetary Ionospheres

, 2022
Measurements conducted with spacecraft around Venus and Mars have shown the presence of vortex structures in their plasma wake. Such features extend across distances of the order of a planetary radius and travel along their wake with a few minutes rotation period.

The Drag of Ionosphere Plasma Drifts on Thermospheric Zonal Winds During the 10–12 May 2024 Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The observations from GRACE‐FO and DMSP satellites are utilized to analyze the ion‐neutral interaction near dusk during the 10–12 May 2024 super‐storm. The horizontal plasma convection dragged the anti‐sunward wind in the polar cap and sunward winds around the auroral and subauroral regions during whole storm times.

H2 Chemistry and Protonation in the Dayside Venusian Upper Atmosphere

The Astronomical Journal
Although H _2 is present in low concentrations, it critically controls the structure and composition of planetary upper atmospheres through protonation under solar extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray irradiation. Recent studies highlight the importance of

First Observation of the Second Harmonic of Upper Band Chorus Waves Linking to Slow Z‐Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Z‐mode, comprising fast and slow branches, is a ubiquitous electromagnetic wave in planetary magnetospheres. While fast Z‐mode generation is attributed to electron cyclotron maser instability, the slow Z‐mode mechanism remains unresolved.

Global Occurrence of Solitary Waves in the Martian Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract This letter presents a global occurrence of bipolar solitary waves (SWs) in the Martian magnetosphere. We utilized medium‐frequency electric field measurements from October 2014 to December 2023 from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft.

Sporadic E-like Topside Layer Driven by Wind Shear in the Martian Ionosphere

The Astrophysical Journal
Ionospheric plasma density disturbances significantly affect radio wave propagation, impacting communication and planetary exploration. At Earth, sporadic E layers (Es) are commonly observed. They are characterized by thin, high-density plasma structures

Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Modeling the Martian Induced Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the magnetic field environment around Mars and its response to upstream solar wind conditions provide key insights into the processes driving atmospheric ion escape. To date, global models of Martian induced magnetosphere have been exclusively physics‐based, relying on computationally intensive simulations. For the first time, we

Solar activity variations of the ionospheres of Venus and Mars [PDF]

, 2021
Extreme ultraviolet and X-ray photons from the Sun generate a partially ionized region in the atmosphere of a planet called an ionosphere. Solar activity, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and changes in the ionizing irradiance affect ...
