Detection of magnetospheric ion drift patterns at Mars [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Mars lacks a global magnetic field, and instead possesses small-scale crustal magnetic fields, making its magnetic environment fundamentally different from intrinsic magnetospheres like those of Earth or Saturn.

Planetary magnetospheres

Geofísica Internacional, 1991
La serie de naves espaciales Pionero, Marinero y Viajero nos ha dado a conocer una impresionante variedad de magnetosferas planetarias. Debido a su cercanía, la magnetosfera terrestre es la que mejor entendemos. El viento solar provee parte del plasma y,

Occurrence rate of ultra-low frequency waves in the foreshock of Mercury increases with heliocentric distance [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2021
Low frequency waves are ubiquitous in space plasmas. Here, the authors show that the occurrence rate of ultra-low frequency waves associated with backstreaming ions in the Hermean foreshock increases with Mercury’s heliocentric distance.

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 ...

Turbulence in the Magnetospheres of the Outer Planets

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The magnetospheres of the outer planets exhibit turbulent phenomena in an environment which is qualitatively different compared to the solar wind or the interstellar medium.

Juno Magnetometer Observations at Ganymede: Comparisons With a Global Hybrid Simulation and Indications of Magnetopause Reconnection

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Juno's flyby of Ganymede on 7 June 2021, provides a unique opportunity to explore the moon's magnetosphere. By means of Magnetometer (MAG) observations and a hybrid numerical simulation, we provide a global description of this environment and analyze the

Sliding Contacts in Planetary Magnetospheres [PDF]

Symmetry, 2021
In the planetary magnetospheres there are specific places connected with velocity breakdown, reconnection, and dynamo processes. Here we pay attention to sliding layers. Sliding layers are formed in the ionosphere, on separatrix surfaces, at the magnetopauses and boundaries of stellar astrospheres, and at the Alfvén radius in the equatorial ...

New Evidence Supporting the Pacific Mantle Outflow: Hints from Crustal Magnetization of the Phoenix Plate

Remote Sensing, 2022
Magnetic contributions to the Earth’s magnetic field within the lithosphere are known as magnetic anomalies. Magnetic anomaly maps provide insight on magnetic properties of subsurface rock, geological structures, and plate tectonic history.

Quasi-parallel Whistler Waves and Their Interaction with Resonant Electrons during High-velocity Bulk Flows in the Earth’s Magnetotail

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In collisionless space, plasma waves are important channels of energy conversion, affecting the local particle velocity distribution functions through wave–particle interactions.

A New Tool for Understanding the Solar Wind–Venus Interaction: Three-dimensional Multifluid MHD Model

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this paper, we present a new tool to investigate the interaction of the solar wind with Venus with the approach of a global multifluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model. The continuity, momentum, and energy equations for H ^+ , O ^+ , ${{\rm{O}}}_{2}^{+
