Solar Coronal Heating by Kinetic Alfvén Waves

The Astrophysical Journal
Abstract The utilization of the Cairns distribution serves as a vital tool for characterizing the nonthermal attributes commonly observed in space plasmas. In these intricate plasma environments, extensive measurements have been conducted to monitor the fluctuations inherent in the perturbed electromagnetic (EM) field and the associated ...

Earthward O+ Injections in the Plasma Sheet Boundary Layer During Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract During geomagnetic storms, energetic ions are injected from the Earth's magnetotail along the plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL). Owing to its off‐equatorial inclined orbit, the Arase satellite is in a prime position to observe these injections in the PSBL on the nightside at the apogee.

Coupled Thermosphere–Ionosphere–Plasmasphere Disturbances During the April 2023 Geomagnetic Storm: A Ground‐Based Multiparametric Study Across the American and European Sectors

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The April 2023 geomagnetic storm significantly impacted the thermosphere‐ionosphere system, particularly over South America and midlatitude regions. This study analyzes ground‐based geomagnetic and ionospheric data, alongside Swarm satellite measurements, to investigate the physical mechanisms driven by intense solar wind energy input ...

On the Relationship between Solar Spicules and Propagating Coronal Disturbances: The Role of Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
Spicules and propagating coronal disturbances (PCDs) are ubiquitous dynamic features of the solar atmosphere, yet their physical connection remains an open question of paramount importance to the mass and energy transport in the solar atmosphere.

Propagation Dynamics of Fast Electron Beam and Its Electron Cyclotron Maser Emission

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Fast electron beams (FEBs) and coherent radio bursts both are very common plasma activity phenomena in the cosmos. The electron cyclotron maser (ECM) instability driven by FEBs trapped in magnetic fields can directly amplify radio wave radiations.

On the Existence of Long-period Decayless Oscillations in Short Active Region Loops

The Astrophysical Journal
Decayless kink oscillations, characterized by their lack of decay in amplitude, have been detected in coronal loops of varying scales in active regions, the quiet Sun, and coronal holes. Short-period (

Nighttime Westward Equatorial Electrojet Observed During the January 2026 Geomagnetic Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The equatorial electrojet (EEJ) is a narrow band of zonal electric current flowing in the E‐region ionosphere within approximately ±2° $\pm 2{}^{\circ}$ latitude of the magnetic equator. At night, the EEJ is generally considered very weak because of low ionospheric conductivity.

Mode Conversion of a Solar Extreme-ultraviolet Wave over a Coronal Cavity [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2017
Abstract We report on observations of an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave event in the Sun on 2011 January 13 by Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory and Solar Dynamics Observatory in quadrature. Both the trailing edge and the leading edge of the EUV wave front in the north direction are reliably traced, revealing generally compatible ...
