On the supply of heavy planetary material to the magnetotail of Mercury [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2013 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-

Ion dynamics during compression of Mercury's magnetosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2010 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.

Recent advances in giant planetary space environments
地球与行星物理论评, 2021 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 ...

Direct evidence of substorm-related impulsive injections of electrons at Mercury
Nature Communications, 2023 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 ...

Observations of Kolmogorov Turbulence in Saturn's Magnetosphere
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Kolmogorov scaling in the inertial range of scales is a distinct characteristic of fully developed turbulence, and studying it offers valuable insights into the evolution of turbulence.

Mercury's magnetospheric substorm and storm
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 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
Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2022 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.

Current sheets in planetary magnetospheres [PDF]
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2019 Abstract In this article we aim to highlight the problems related to the structure and stability of the comparatively thin current sheets that were relatively recently discovered by space missions in the magnetospheres of the Earth and planets, as well as in the solar wind. These magnetoplasma structures are universal in collisionless
