Computer Simulation of Reconnection in Planetary Magnetospheres [PDF]
The earth's magnetosphere provides an ideal opportunity to model reconnection in well known geometries that are close enough to the idealized analytic models to make a comparison of the computer models with analytic theory meaningful. In addition more detailed, even three-dimensional, models can be used for a comparison with extended data from in situ ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Planetary science is the science of studying planets, moons, and planetary systems. The scale of the research objects ranges from small meteoroids to large gas giant planets, and the research purpose is to determine their composition, dynamics, formation,

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}^{+

Lower hybrid waves are commonly observed in magnetic reconnection. Based on in situ measurements and the application of an extended quasi-linear model, we investigate the occurrence, saturation, and electron heating of lower hybrid waves in the region of

Steady-State Magnetohydrodynamic Flow Around an Unmagnetized Conducting Sphere [PDF]
The non-collisional interaction between conducting obstacles and magnetized plasma winds can be found in different scenarios, from the interaction occurring between regions inside galaxy clusters to the interaction between the solar wind and Mars, Venus,

Comparative Study on Planetary Magnetosphere in the Solar System [PDF]
The magnetospheric responses to solar wind of Mercury, Earth, Jupiter and Uranus are compared via magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The tilt angle of each planetary field and the polarity of solar wind are also considered. Magnetic reconnection is illustrated and explicated with the interaction between the magnetic field distributions of the solar

Hall Fields and Current Systems of Magnetic Reconnection under Asymmetric Conditions
The Hall effect is a key component of collisionless reconnection. A previous study showed that a quadrupolar Hall pattern under symmetric conditions degenerates into a bipolar pattern under highly asymmetric conditions.

Large-scale solar wind flow around Saturn's nonaxisymmetric magnetosphere [PDF]
The interaction between the solar wind and a magnetosphere is fundamental to the dynamics of a planetary system. Here, we address fundamental questions on the large-scale magnetosheath flow around Saturn using a 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation ...
