Iterative and Steady Black Auroral Stripes and Their Possible Causality in Plasma‐Sheet Electron Distributions: Implications From Low‐Altitude Reimei Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Iterative black auroral stripes were identified in auroral images obtained by the low‐altitude microsatellite Reimei. These steady and narrow black stripes are a remarkable feature of diffuse auroras generated by energetic electrons precipitating at higher latitudes than pulsating auroras.

Ionospheres and atmosphere of non-magnetic planets and solar wind interaction: Part I - Venus

, 2002
The solar-planetary interaction is unique for non-magnetic planets, since the solar wind interacts directly with the atmospheres and ionospheres of these planets.

Influence of Solar Sails on Magnetic Field Measurements in Space Plasmas

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Solar sail technology is ready to be deployed in a satellite mission carrying a science‐grade magnetometer. In preparation for such a mission, it is essential to characterize the interactions between the sail and the ambient plasma that could affect the magnetometer readings.

The Response of the Martian Ion Precipitation to Extreme Solar Events

The Astrophysical Journal
Ion precipitation is a major driver of sputtering on Mars, yet its behavior under extreme solar wind conditions remains poorly characterized. Using MAVEN observations, we analyze 124 extreme solar wind events from 2014 to 2018 together with a unique ...

Ionospheric Ambipolar Electric Fields of Mars and Venus: Comparisons Between Theoretical Predictions and Direct Observations of the Electric Potential Drop

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
We test the hypothesis that their dominant driver of a planetary ambipolar electric field is the ionospheric electron pressure gradient (∇Pe). The ionospheres of Venus and Mars are mapped using Langmuir probe measurements from NASA's Pioneer Venus ...

Ionic reactions in the laboratory and in planetary atmospheres

, 1979
A detailed understanding of the ionospheres of the Earth and planets requires knowledge of the rates of many ionic reactions as well as of electron recombination coefficients and photoionization cross sections.

Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Responses to the March 2023 Geomagnetic Storm Using Observations and TIEGCM Simulations Driven by Data Assimilated Aurora and Electric Fields

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We investigate Ionosphere‐Thermosphere (IT) responses to the March 2023 geomagnetic storm using GOLD and PFISR observations, along with TIEGCM simulations driven by data‐assimilated aurora and electric fields. A Lattice Kriging approach is implemented to assimilate auroral electron flux and characteristic energy from ground‐based (THEMIS/ASIs)

Temperatures of Jupiter’s Upper Atmosphere: The Role of the Planetary Magnetic Field

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The primary source of heating in the upper atmospheres (thermospheres) of giant planets has been the subject of long debate. The conundrum (or “energy crisis”) consists in observed thermosphere temperatures at low and midlatitudes exceeding values ...

Arbitrary amplitude ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves in an unmagnetized electron–proton–ion nonthermal plasma [PDF]

AIP Advances
This study thoroughly examines the features of arbitrary amplitude ion-acoustic nonlinear structures, including both solitary and shock waves (double layers), in an unmagnetized electron–proton–ion plasma where electrons follow Cairns distributions and ...
