Geophysical Research LettersSaturn's ring current, which modulates the global magnetic field configuration, varies dynamically with hot plasma injections. However, quantifying transient magnetic field disturbances remains challenging in the absence of in situ measurements on Saturn'

Asymmetric distribution of reconnection jet fronts in the Jovian nightside magnetosphere [PDF]
, 2013 Magnetic reconnection plays important roles in mass transport and energy conversion in planetary magnetospheres. It is considered that transient reconnection causes localized auroral arcs or spots in the Jovian magnetosphere, by analogy to the case in ...

Reconnection in a rotation-dominated magnetosphere and its relation to Saturn's auroral dynamics [PDF]
, 2005 The first extended series of observations of Saturn's auroral emissions, undertaken by the Hubble Space Telescope in January 2004 in conjunction with measurements of the upstream solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) by the Cassini ...

Azimuthal magnetic fields in saturn's magnetosphere: Effects associated with plasma sub-corotation and the magnetopause-tail current system [PDF]
, 2003 We calculate the azimuthal magnetic fields expected to be present in Saturn’s magnetosphere associated with two physical effects, and compare them with the fields observed during the flybys of the two Voyager spacecraft.

Rotational modulation and local time dependence of Saturn's infrared H3+ auroral intensity [PDF]
, 2012 Planetary auroral emissions reveal the configuration of magnetospheric field-aligned current systems. In this study, Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) observations of Saturn's pre-equinox infrared H3+ aurorae were analysed to show ...

A statistical analysis of the location and width of Saturn's southern auroras [PDF]
, 2006 A selection of twenty-two Hubble Space Telescope images of Saturn's ultraviolet auroras obtained during 1997–2004 has been analysed to determine the median location and width of the auroral oval, and their variability.

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

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page i-xiv., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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 ...

Space- and ground-based investigations of solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling [PDF]
, 2006 This paper provides a brief review of the understanding of the coupled solar wind–magnetosphere–ionosphere system that can be attained from observations of the size of the ionospheric polar caps from space and the ground.
