Studying dawn-dusk asymmetries of Mercury's magnetotail using MHD-EPIC simulations

, 2019
MESSENGER has observed a lot of dawn-dusk asymmetries in Mercury's magnetotail, such as the asymmetries of the cross-tail current sheet thickness and the occurrence of flux ropes, dipolarization events and energetic electron injections.

The Evolution of Hot Flow Anomalies in Martian Space Environment

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Hot Flow Anomalies (HFAs) are transient foreshock structures generated by solar wind discontinuity‐bow shock interactions, with their evolution only confirmed near Earth. Using MAVEN and Tianwen‐1 joint observations, we study the evolution of a Martian HFA event detected on 17 September 2022 (dayside by MAVEN, nightside by Tianwen‐1).

The Saturnian Kilometric Radiation before the Cassini Grand Finale

, 2017
The Saturnian Kilometric Radiation (SKR) is radiated from the auroral regions surrounding the kronian magnetic poles, above the ionosphere up to a few planetary radii.

Reconnection Preferentially Accelerates Light Ions at Ganymede's Magnetopause

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Juno's flyby of Ganymede revealed ion composition in its vicinity with the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment–Ion (JADE‐I) instrument. Throughout this flyby, we derive species‐resolved ion density and velocity moments by decomposing the time‐of‐flight data into contributions from individual ion species using species‐dependent fits. At the

Direct Observations of Magnetic Reconnections at the Magnetopause of the Martian Mini‐Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters
While Mars lacks a global intrinsic magnetic field, it does exhibit crustal magnetic anomalies (mostly in its Southern Hemisphere). These crustal magnetic anomalies directly interact with solar wind, which forms a mini‐magnetosphere and a region denoted ...

MHD effects of the solar wind flow around planets [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2000
The study of the interaction of the solar wind with magnetized and unmagnetized planets forms a central topic of space research. Focussing on planetary magnetosheaths, we review some major developments in this field.

Exoplanet Transit Variability: Bow Shocks and Winds Around HD 189733b

, 2013
By analogy with the solar system, it is believed that stellar winds will form bow shocks around exoplanets. For hot Jupiters the bow shock will not form directly between the planet and the star, causing an asymmetric distribution of mass around the ...

Global Effects of Chorus and Hiss Waves on Trapped Energetic Electrons at Jupiter

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Unlike Earth, where whistler‐mode chorus is generally observed outside the plasmasphere and hiss is predominantly confined within it, Jupiter's magnetosphere frequently hosts both wave modes simultaneously. Using Juno observations, we present a global survey of whistler‐mode waves at Jupiter, demonstrating that both chorus and hiss are ...

Predicting low-frequency radio fluxes of known extrasolar planets

, 2007
Context. Close-in giant extrasolar planets (''Hot Jupiters'') are believed to be strong emitters in the decametric radio range. Aims. We present the expected characteristics of the low-frequency magnetospheric radio emission of all currently known ...

Solar Wind–Magnetosphere Coupling by the Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability at Mercury

The Astrophysical Journal
The Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) has been considered important in the energy transfer and momentum coupling between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres.
