A Robust Empirical Relationship Between Speed and Turbulence Energy in the Near‐Earth Solar Wind

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The connection between turbulence and solar‐wind acceleration, long known in space physics, is further developed in this study by establishing a robust empirical law that relates the bulk‐flow speed to the magnetohydrodynamic‐scale fluctuation energy in the plasma. The model is based on analysis of 25 years of near‐Earth observations by NASA's

Particle acceleration in the presence of weak turbulence at an X-type neutral point [PDF]

, 2012
We simulate the likely noisy situation near a reconnection region by superposing many 2D linear reconnection eigenmodes. The superposition of modes on the steady state X-type magnetic field creates multiple X- and O-type neutral points close to the ...

Kelvin‐Helmholtz Stability Analysis as a Function of Dipole Tilt and Solar Wind Property

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Kelvin‐Helmholtz instabilities (KHIs) play a critical role in facilitating mass and momentum transport across the magnetopause boundary. Recent studies have demonstrated that KHI occurrence exhibits both seasonal and diurnal variability, with enhanced activity when Earth's magnetic dipole is more closely aligned with the northward direction in

Effect of structuring on coronal loop oscillations

, 2007
In this Thesis the theoretical understanding of oscillations in coronal structures is developed. In particular, coronal loops are modelled as magnetic slabs of plasma.

The response of the magnetosphere to the passage of a coronal mass ejection on March 20-21 1990 [PDF]

, 1997
International audienceThe geomagnetic response to the passage of a coronal mass ejection (CME) is studied. The passage of the CME resulted in a storm sudden commencement (SSC) at 2243 UT on March 20 1990 with disturbed magnetic activity during the ...

Responses of a Coronal Hole to a Fast Flare-driven Coronal Wave

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Coronal waves, significant solar phenomena, act as diagnostic tools for scientists studying solar atmosphere properties. Here, we present a novel observation detailing how a coronal wave event, associated with an X5.0 class flare, influenced the ...

Solar Wind‐Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Coupling During the October 2024 Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Two geomagnetic storms occurred in October 2024 (Oct 6‐9 and 10–12), driven by the impact of a series of interplanetary coronal mass ejections on the magnetosphere. The first was a moderate storm, with peak Sym‐H near −150 nT, whereas the second was intense, Sym‐H reaching −340 nT.

Modeling the Propagation of Slow Magnetoacoustic Waves in a Multistranded Coronal Loop

The Astrophysical Journal
We study the propagation properties of slow magnetoacoustic waves in a multithermal coronal loop using a 3D MHD model, for the first time. A bundle of 33 vertical cylinders, each of 100 km radius, randomly distributed over a circular region of radius 1 ...

The FIP and Inverse FIP Effects in Solar and Stellar Coronae

Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2015
We review our state of knowledge of coronal element abundance anomalies in the Sun and stars. We concentrate on the first ionization potential (FIP) effect observed in the solar corona and slow-speed wind, and in the coronae of solar-like dwarf stars ...
