Current sheets in planetary magnetospheres [PDF]

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2019
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.

Mercury’s plasma environment after BepiColombo’s third flyby

Communications Physics
Understanding Mercury’s magnetosphere is crucial for advancing our comprehension of how the solar wind interacts with the planetary magnetospheres. Despite previous missions, several gaps remain in our knowledge of Mercury’s plasma environment.

Modeling magnetospheric fields in the Jupiter system

, 2017
The various processes which generate magnetic fields within the Jupiter system are exemplary for a large class of similar processes occurring at other planets in the solar system, but also around extrasolar planets.

The Space Environment and Atmospheric Joule Heating of the Habitable Zone Exoplanet TOI700-d

, 2020
We investigate the space environment conditions near the Earth-size planet TOI~700~d using a set of numerical models for the stellar corona and wind, the planetary magnetosphere, and the planetary ionosphere.

Saturn's Exploration Beyond Cassini-Huygens [PDF]

, 2009
For its beautiful rings, active atmosphere and mysterious magnetic field, Saturn is a fascinating planet. It also holds some of the keys to understanding the formation of our Solar System and the evolution of giant planets in general.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

First Observation of Electron Rolling‐Pin Distribution in Jupiter's Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters
The electron rolling‐pin distribution, showing electron pitch angles primarily at 0°, 90°, and 180°, has been widely studied in the Earth's magnetosphere, but has never been reported in other planetary environments.

Large‐Scale Magnetosheath Jets Formed by Shock‐Discontinuity Interactions: A Three‐Dimensional Global Hybrid Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Magnetosheath high‐speed jets with enhanced dynamic pressure are common in Earth's magnetosheath and can impinge on the magnetopause, driving pronounced boundary deformation. Recent observations indicate that shock–discontinuity interactions (SDIs) can generate magnetosheath jets, but the formation mechanism is still unclear.
