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 ...

Magnetic games between a planet and its host star: the key role of topology [PDF]
Magnetic interactions between a star and a close-in planet are postulated to be a source of enhanced emissions and to play a role in the secular evolution of the orbital system. Close-in planets generally orbit in the sub-alfv\'enic region of the stellar

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

The Impact of Hot Jupiters on the Spin-down of their Host Stars [PDF]
We present a numerical Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) study of the dependence of stellar mass and angular momentum- loss rates on the orbital distance to close-in giant planets.

Observations of Kolmogorov Turbulence in Saturn's Magnetosphere
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.

Modeling the Young Sun's Solar Wind and its Interaction with Earth's Paleomagnetosphere [PDF]
We present a focused parameter study of solar wind - magnetosphere interaction for the young Sun and Earth, $~3.5$ Ga ago, that relies on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations for both the solar wind and the magnetosphere.

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.

The Dynamics of Stellar Coronae Harboring Hot-jupiters II. A Space Weather Event on A Hot-jupiter
We carry out a numerical simulation depicting the effects of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) event on a close-in giant planet in an extrasolar system. We drive the CME in a similar manner as in simulations of space weather events on Earth.
