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.

Frequency Characteristics of Magnetosonic Waves Driven by Hot Ring-Beam Protons
The Astrophysical JournalMagnetosonic (MS) waves can be generated by energetic ring-beam protons, appearing as harmonics near the local proton cyclotron frequency, in the planetary ionospheres/magnetospheres.

The physics and chemistry of dusty plasmas: A laboratory and theoretical investigation [PDF]
Theoretical work on dusty plasmas was conducted in three areas: collective effects in a dusty plasma, the role of dusty plasmas in cometary atmospheres, and the role of dusty plasmas in planetary atmospheres (particularly in the ring systems of the giant

Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection as an Acceleration Mechanism in Earth’s Magnetotail
The Astrophysical JournalUsing electric and magnetic fields measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we construct a test-particle simulation of a turbulent magnetic reconnection region to investigate observed ion acceleration. We identify three types of energized
