Double Layers in the Martian Magnetosheath

The Astrophysical Journal
The 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 Journal
Ultralow-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 Journal
Based 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 Letters
Jupiter’s largest moon Ganymede has its own intrinsic magnetic field, which forms a magnetosphere that is embedded within Jupiter’s corotating magnetospheric plasma.

In situ, Surface-deployed Distributed Instruments for Planetary Science: Scientific Opportunities and Technology Feasibility

The Planetary Science Journal
In this paper, we assess the scientific promise and technology feasibility of in situ distributed instruments for planetary surface and atmospheric science. A distributed instrument is an instrument designed to collect spatially and temporally correlated

Frequency Characteristics of Magnetosonic Waves Driven by Hot Ring-Beam Protons

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetosonic (MS) waves can be generated by energetic ring-beam protons, appearing as harmonics near the local proton cyclotron frequency, in the planetary ionospheres/magnetospheres.

Effects of the 2007 Martian Global Dust Storm on Boundary Positions in the Induced Magnetosphere

The Planetary Science Journal
Mars's magnetosphere is a sensitive system, varying due to external and internal factors, such as solar wind conditions and crustal magnetic fields.

Wave Responses to Magnetosheath Boundary Motion at Saturn: Mirror Modes and Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
Saturn’s magnetosheath provides a natural laboratory for studying the generation and evolution of low-frequency plasma waves that play a key role in regulating temperature anisotropy and mediating wave–particle interactions.

Relativistic Electron Acceleration and the “Ankle” Spectral Feature in Earth’s Magnetotail Reconnection

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Electrons are accelerated to high, nonthermal energies during explosive energy-release events in space, such as magnetic reconnection. However, the properties and acceleration mechanisms of relativistic electrons directly associated with the reconnection

A Study of Slow-mode Shocks in the Near-Earth Magnetotail with MMS Observations and Hybrid Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
The structure of the magnetic reconnection boundary, particularly the presence of slow-mode shocks in the near-Earth magnetotail was studied by using magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) observations and 2.5D hybrid simulations. A total of 51 crossings of MMS
