Revealing the Formation of the <20 MeV Inner Proton Radiation Belt at L ∼ 2 During the 10–11 May 2024 Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract A new proton radiation belt was identified during the geomagnetic superstorm of 10–11 May 2024. To investigate its origin, we use an MHD‐test particle simulation to model solar energetic proton (SEP) trapping and the evolution of the initial trapped proton population during the storm.

Additional acceleration of solar-wind particles in current sheets of the heliosphere [PDF]

, 2015
Particles of fast solar wind in the vicinity of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) or in a front of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) often reveal very peculiar energy or velocity profiles, density distributions with double or triple peaks,

Estimating the Poynting Flux of Alfvénic Waves in Polar Coronal Holes across Solar Cycle 24

The Astrophysical Journal
Alfvénic waves are known to be prevalent throughout the corona and solar wind. Determining the Poynting flux supplied by the waves is required for constraining their role in plasma heating and acceleration, as well as providing a constraint for Alfvén ...

Influence of the Lower Atmosphere on Wave Heating and Evaporation in Solar Coronal Loops

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We model a coronal loop as a 3D magnetic cylinder in a realistic solar atmosphere that extends from the chromosphere to the corona. Kink oscillations, believed to be ubiquitous in the solar corona, are launched in the loop.

Research progress in coronal magnetic field measurements

地球与行星物理论评, 2022
Different solar atmospheric layers are connected by the magnetic field of the Sun, which is the primary source for various types of solar activity. The magnetic activity of the Sun has a significant impact on the solar-terrestrial environment and human ...

Open Magnetic Field Lines Partition Auroral Oval Segments Into Transpolar Arcs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Transpolar arcs (TPAs) are auroral structures spanning the polar cap. One type appears in conjugate hemispheres and is thought to be located on closed field lines, but how closed flux enters the open polar cap remains debated. We address this using observation and simulation of conjugate TPAs after an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By ...

Statistics of counter-streaming solar wind suprathermal electrons at solar minimum : STEREO observations [PDF]

, 2010
Previous work has shown that solar wind suprathermal electrons can display a number of features in terms of their anisotropy. Of importance is the occurrence of counter-streaming electron patterns, i.e., with "beams" both parallel and anti-parallel to ...

The Coronal Analysis of SHocks and Waves (CASHeW) framework

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2017
Coronal bright fronts (CBF) are large-scale wavelike disturbances in the solar corona, related to solar eruptions. They are observed (mostly in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light) as transient bright fronts of finite width, propagating away from the ...

Plasma Stability in Turbulent Magnetic Flux Ropes Downstream of a Collisionless Shock

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract How pre‐existing solar wind turbulence, and coherent structures such as magnetic flux ropes within it, influence the transition of plasma across a shock is still poorly understood. Recently, in situ observations from the Earth's magnetosheath have been used to study plasma stability against ion kinetic instabilities. In the turbulent flow, the
