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.

Kp index correlates with the many magnetosphere properties, which are used to measure the level of magnetic activity. In the solar system, the two different planets, Mercury with weak magnetic field and Jupiter with strong magnetic field, are selected ...

On the supply of heavy planetary material to the magnetotail of Mercury [PDF]
We examine the transport of low-energy heavy ions of planetary origin (O+, Na+, Ca+) in the magnetosphere of Mercury. We show that, in contrast to Earth, these ions are abruptly energized after ejection into the magnetosphere due to enhanced curvature-

Recent advances in giant planetary space environments
Among the eight solar system planets, Jupiter and Saturn are the two most giant planets, which also have the most prominent magnetic moments. Comparing to the Earth dipole magnetic field, the magnetic moment of Saturn is about 600 times larger while ...

Ion dynamics during compression of Mercury's magnetosphere [PDF]
Because of the small planetary magnetic field as well as proximity to the Sun that leads to enhanced solar wind pressure as compared to Earth, the magnetosphere of Mercury is very dynamical and at times subjected to prominent compression.

Direct evidence of substorm-related impulsive injections of electrons at Mercury
Mercury’s magnetosphere is known to involve fundamental processes releasing particles and energy like at Earth due to the solar wind interaction. The resulting cycle is however much faster and involves acceleration, transport, loss, and recycling of ...

Mercury's magnetospheric substorm and storm
Magnetospheric substorms and magnetic storms are explosive energy storage and release processes occurring during the interactions between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres. They are accompanied by complex plasma dynamics processes and they have

Review and comparison of MHD wave characteristics at the Sun and in Earth’s magnetosphere
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves play a crucial role in the plasma processes of stellar atmospheres and planetary magnetospheres. Wave phenomena in both media are known to have similarities and unique traits typical of each system.
