Comparative Study on Planetary Magnetosphere in the Solar System [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 The magnetospheric responses to solar wind of Mercury, Earth, Jupiter and Uranus are compared via magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The tilt angle of each planetary field and the polarity of solar wind are also considered.

Sliding Contacts in Planetary Magnetospheres [PDF]
Symmetry, 2021 In the planetary magnetospheres there are specific places connected with velocity breakdown, reconnection, and dynamo processes. Here we pay attention to sliding layers. Sliding layers are formed in the ionosphere, on separatrix surfaces, at the magnetopauses and boundaries of stellar astrospheres, and at the Alfvén radius in the equatorial ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Mars’s magnetosphere is hybrid, having contributions from both an induced magnetosphere like Venus and the localized crustal magnetic fields. However, the planetary fields also include large-scale, more global components.

Comparing Jupiter and Saturn: dimensionless input rates from plasma sources within the magnetosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 The quantitative significance for a planetary magnetosphere of plasma sources associated with a moon of the planet can be assessed only by expressing the plasma mass input rate in dimensionless form, as the ratio of the actual mass input to some ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 We currently do not understand the fundamental physical processes that govern mass and energy flow through the Earth’s magnetosphere. Knowledge of these processes is critical to understanding the mass loss rate of Earth’s atmosphere, as well as for ...

A quantitative model of the planetary Na+ contribution to Mercury’s magnetosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2003 We examine the circulation of heavy ions of planetary origin within Mercury’s magnetosphere. Using single particle trajectory calculations, we focus on the dynamics of sodium ions, one of the main species that are ejected from the planet’s ...

Oxygen ion escape from Venus in a global hybrid simulation: role of the ionospheric O+ ions [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 We study the solar wind induced oxygen ion escape from Venus' upper atmosphere and the Venus Express observations of the Venus-solar wind interaction by the HYB-Venus hybrid simulation code.

Observations of a Mini‐Magnetosphere Above the Martian Crustal Magnetic Fields
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Mars is typically regarded as a non‐magnetic planet. Currents in the Martian ionosphere generate a Venus‐like induced magnetosphere which deflects the solar wind flows and piles up the interplanetary magnetic fields.

Observational research on Mercury's magnetosphere
地球与行星物理论评, 2021 Mercury's miniature magnetosphere has no radiation belts, ionosphere, plasmasphere and atmosphere, only a weak exosphere. The induction effect of the planet's very large iron core is obvious. These result in a significant different space environment from

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 Whistler mode waves are critical emissions in magnetized plasmas that usually influence the electron dynamics in a planetary magnetosphere. In this paper, we present a unique event in the Martian magnetosphere in which enhanced whistler mode waves (~10 ...
