Flux Tube Properties and Interchange Instabilities in Jupiter's Middle Magnetosphere

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract In Jupiter's magnetosphere, the outward transport of Io‐genic plasma and the planetward injection of energetic particles are facilitated by flux tube interchange motion driven by centrifugal instabilities. Flux tube content and entropy are two competing key quantities that determine the behavior of the system.

Electron Energization by Ion Density Enhancement in the Martian Magnetotail—MAVEN Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
It has been long observed at Mars that electron fluxes are enhanced during the tail current sheet crossings, of which the cause is not well understood. We use a novel approach to reveal one of the electron energization mechanisms with observations from ...

Effects of Mineralogy and UV Radiation on the Detectability of Amino Acids Within the Martian Regolith: The Case for a Combined Chromatographical and Spectroscopical Approach

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Amino acids are an extremely heterogeneous group of biomolecules essential for life on Earth. Their biosignatures are expected to be easily degraded on the Martian surface as the absence of a thick atmosphere and a magnetosphere leads to most of the solar radiation directly reaching its surface.

The modulation of SiO maser polarization by Jovian planets

open access: yes, 2008
Searching for planets in the atmosphere of AGB stars is difficult, due to confusion with the stellar wind and pulsations. The aim here is to provide a complementary strategy for planet search in such a dense environment.

Ocean Worlds Maintained by Ocean Tidal Heat Expected on Several Uranian Moons

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract In recent NASA decadal surveys, detecting oceans among Uranus' moons has been identified as a research priority in future missions. Currently, the prevailing view in planetary science is that the likelihood of finding oceans is highest on the larger moons, Titania and Oberon, due to their higher integrals of radiogenic heat sources.

Effects of the 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm on Boundary Positions in the Induced Magnetosphere

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Global dust storms at Mars have a significant impact on the atmosphere and ionosphere, but only recently has their impact on the magnetosphere been investigated.

Geoeffectiveness of Interplanetary Alfvén Waves. II. Spectral Characteristics and Geomagnetic Responses

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using multipoint observations over 10 yr near 1 au, we investigate the spectra (5 minutes to 2 hr) of interplanetary Alfvén waves and the responses in the geomagnetic activities.

Magnetic Flux Ropes at Mars and Their Impacts on Heavy Ion Escape

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Flux ropes (FRs), ubiquitous helical magnetic structures in solar system plasmas, are important to energy and particle transport. At Mars, where global intrinsic magnetic fields are absent, FRs form through magnetic reconnection (MR) and magnetospheric or ionospheric boundary wave instabilities (BWIs), but their role in ion escape remains ...

Impacts of Tidal Locking on Magnetospheric Energy Input to Exoplanet Atmospheres

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the effect of planetary corotation on energy dissipation within the magnetosphere–ionosphere system of exoplanets. Using magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we find that tidally locked exoplanets have a higher cross polar cap potential (CPCP)
