Mercury’s plasma environment after BepiColombo’s third flyby

Communications Physics
Understanding Mercury’s magnetosphere is crucial for advancing our comprehension of how the solar wind interacts with the planetary magnetospheres. Despite previous missions, several gaps remain in our knowledge of Mercury’s plasma environment.

Statistical Distributions of Plasma Density and Pressure in the Jovian Plasma Sheet

The Astrophysical Journal
The Jovian plasma sheet is a key region of the Jovian magnetosphere populated by a mix of warm and hot plasma. It is the main channel for radial transport of mass and energy in the Jovian magnetosphere and provides a favorable environment for magnetic ...

Computer Simulation of Reconnection in Planetary Magnetospheres [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985
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 ...

Determining the State of Jupiter’s Magnetosphere Using In Situ and Remote Sensing Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
While Jupiter’s magnetosphere is primarily governed by internal processes, variations in solar wind conditions can significantly modulate magnetospheric energy.

Comparative studies of planetary magnetospheres

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1992
Three recent “flyby” spacecraft encounters of planetary magnetospheres have provided new glimpses of the broad spectrum of plasma behaviors that occur within such environments. Voyager 2's encounter with Neptune in August 1989 and Galileo's grav itational assist encounters with Venus in February 1990 and Earth in December 1990 have revealed significant

Saturn’s Recurrent Auroral Flashes in the Equinoctial Campaign

The Astrophysical Journal
The past decades of Cassini’s investigation around Saturn have revealed the frequent occurrence of ∼1 hr quasiperiodic (QP) signatures in the in situ magnetic field and plasma measurements and plasma wave observations. Saturn’s aurora, as the response to

A Simulation Study of an HFA-like Event at Mars

The Astrophysical Journal
Hot flow anomalies (HFAs) are transient structures at planetary bow shocks characterized by hot, tenuous plasma. At Mars, where no global dipole field exists, such events interact with the induced magnetosphere in a unique and poorly understood way. This

Triggering the Magnetopause Reconnection by Solar Wind Discontinuities

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetic reconnection is one of the most universal processes in space plasma that is responsible for charged particle acceleration and the mixing and heating of plasma populations.

STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF PLANETARY MAGNETOSPHERES

, 2022
The interactions between the ambient plasmas and the objects of the Solar System result in variable exchanges both in time and space of mass, momentum and energy within different types of magnetospheres. The characterization of the sources, the general circulation and the losses of the magnetospheric plasmas as well as the identification of the ...
