TRACERS Small‐Scale Field‐Aligned Currents and Intense GPS Amplitude and Phase Scintillations in the Nightside Auroral Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We present conjugate observations of ionospheric small‐scale magnetic perturbations (dB) $(dB)$ and GPS scintillations from the Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) and the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) during a storm‐time substorm on 9 August 2025 in the nightside auroral region ...

Pre‐Existing Plasmaspheric Density Structure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We perform a basic model experiment: we run two nearly identical plasmapause simulations, differing only by their initial conditions. The first run contains initial fine‐scale and mesoscale structure, and the second run is initialized with a featureless, circular plasmapause.

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

The 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.

Statistical Evaluation of a Foreshock Transient Model Using Ground‐Based ULF Wave Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Hot flow anomalies and foreshock bubbles are discontinuity–driven foreshock transients that generate significant geospace disturbances. A recently developed analytical model can predict their upstream perturbations. In this study, we further evaluate this model by comparing its predictions with geomagnetic disturbances measured by ground‐based

Mach Number Scaling of Foreshock Magnetic Fluctuations at Quasi-parallel Bow Shocks and Their Role in Magnetospheric Driving Throughout the Solar System

The Astrophysical Journal
Upstream of quasi-parallel bow shocks, reflected ions generate ion–ion instabilities. The resulting magnetic fluctuations can advect through the shock and interact with planetary magnetospheres.

Martian Magnetotail Neutral Sheet Asymmetry Driven by Heavy Planetary Pickup Ions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract In the induced magnetotail of Mars, the neutral sheet is an important channel for atmospheric ion escape, yet the role of heavy planetary pickup ions in shaping its geometry has been unclear. Using three‐dimensional hybrid simulations, we demonstrate that these ions induce a global neutral sheet asymmetry via mass loading.

Proton Trapping in Ganymede’s Magnetosphere: A Quantitative Test Particle Study

The Astrophysical Journal
Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, possesses an intrinsic dipole magnetic field, creating a mini-magnetosphere within Jupiter’s giant magnetosphere.

Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual‐Lobe Reconnection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS‐2 orbits through the northern low‐altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS‐2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and sunward convection, consistent with magnetopause reconnection tailward of the cusp during this northward IMF interval.

Energetic Proton Dynamics in Ganymede’s Magnetosphere under Different Upstream Conditions: The Role of Field-line Curvature Scattering

The Astrophysical Journal
Ganymede’s mini-magnetosphere is embedded in the variable Jovian plasma environment, yet how upstream conditions regulate energetic proton dynamics within the magnetosphere remains an open question.

Unraveling the Fine‐Scale Tapestry of Solar Wind at 1AU

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Solar wind is a complex network of distinct magnetic flux tubes, each contained and separated by a current sheet. In this study, more than 50,000 current sheets in the solar wind are identified and characterized for the first time, using multi‐point Cluster observations during solar minimum and maximum intervals.
