Sliding Contacts in Planetary Magnetospheres [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 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 ...

Comparative Study on Planetary Magnetosphere in the Solar System [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2020
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

The Wave Growth, Saturation, and Electron Heating of Lower Hybrid Waves in the Magnetic Reconnection Exhaust

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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

Highlight Advances in Planetary Physics in the Solar System: In Situ Detection Over the Past 20 Years

open access: yesSpace: Science & Technology, 2023
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,

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

open access: yesThe 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}^{+

Current sheets in planetary magnetospheres [PDF]

open access: yesPlasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2019
Abstract 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. These magnetoplasma structures are universal in collisionless

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

A Simplified Ordinary Differential Equation for the Surface Temperature of Airless Bodies

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
In this work, we develop simplified surface temperature models for spherical bodies with insignificant atmospheres, able to produce a latitude/longitude temperature map that includes seasonality effects.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Hall Fields and Current Systems of Magnetic Reconnection under Asymmetric Conditions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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.
