Determining the State of Jupiter’s Magnetosphere Using In Situ and Remote Sensing Observations
The Astrophysical JournalWhile Jupiter’s magnetosphere is primarily governed by internal processes, variations in solar wind conditions can significantly modulate magnetospheric energy.

A Simulation Study of an HFA-like Event at Mars
The Astrophysical JournalHot 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

Saturn’s Recurrent Auroral Flashes in the Equinoctial Campaign
The Astrophysical JournalThe 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

Triggering the Magnetopause Reconnection by Solar Wind Discontinuities
The Astrophysical JournalMagnetic 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.

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

Double Layers in the Martian Magnetosheath
The Astrophysical JournalThe observation of electrostatic double layers in Martian magnetosheath plasma is reported, based on medium-frequency (100 Hz–32 kHz) electric field data recorded by the Langmuir Probe and Waves on board the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution ...

Ultralow-frequency Waves in Jupiter’s Magnetopause Boundary Layer
The Astrophysical JournalUltralow-frequency (ULF) waves (∼tens of minutes period) are widely identified in the Jovian system and are believed to be associated with energy dissipation in the magnetosphere and ionosphere.

Small-scale Field-aligned Currents in the Magnetopause Boundary Layer
The Astrophysical JournalBased on high-resolution measurements from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission from 2015 May to 2018 June, we statistically investigate the properties of small-scale field-aligned currents (SFACs) in the magnetopause boundary layer.

Backscattering of Ions Impacting Ganymede’s Surface as a Source for Energetic Neutral Atoms
The Astrophysical Journal LettersJupiter’s largest moon Ganymede has its own intrinsic magnetic field, which forms a magnetosphere that is embedded within Jupiter’s corotating magnetospheric plasma.
