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}^{+

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

Space: 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,

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

The 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

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

Earth 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.

Current sheets in planetary magnetospheres [PDF]

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2019
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.

Hall Fields and Current Systems of Magnetic Reconnection under Asymmetric Conditions

The 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.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Large‐Scale Magnetosheath Jets Formed by Shock‐Discontinuity Interactions: A Three‐Dimensional Global Hybrid Simulation

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.
