Three-dimensional propagation of kink wave trains in solar coronal slabs

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2022
ABSTRACT Impulsively excited wave trains are of considerable interest in solar coronal seismology. To our knowledge, however, it remains to examine the three-dimensional (3D) dispersive propagation of impulsive kink waves in straight, field-aligned, symmetric, low-beta, slab equilibria that are structured only in one transverse direction.

Particle precipitation during ICME-driven and CIR-driven geomagnetic storms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) and corotating interaction regions (CIR) alter the parameters of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) that affect conditions in the Earth's magnetosphere and particle precipitation in the ...

Impulsively Excited Quasiperiodic Fast-propagating Waves in the Solar Corona

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Quasiperiodic fast-propagating (QFP) waves excited by an impulsive, spatially localized velocity perturbation in a curved coronal loop are investigated with three-dimensional numerical simulations.

Importance of High Cadence Magnetometer Data for Investigating Geomagnetic Disturbances

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) are rapid changes in the magnetic field of the Earth that may drive geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), known to cause damage to infrastructure such as power grids and pipelines. Globally, GIC measurements are often hard to obtain; therefore, GMDs are used as a proxy for GICs.

Energy and Mass Transport Associated with Impulsive Spicular Flows in Solar Coronal Holes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
How the solar atmosphere is heated from a temperature of about 5000 to 6000 K in the lower atmosphere to about 1–2 MK in the corona has challenged the astrophysical community for nearly 80 yr.

Alfvén Wave Connection between the Chromosphere and the Corona of the Sun: An Analytical Study

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Alfvén waves are closely relevant to the three outstanding problems in the solar corona: coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, and the fractionization of low first ionization potential (FIP) elements.

Relative Contributions of Lower‐Atmosphere Tidal and Solar‐Magnetospheric Forcings to the Day‐to‐Day Variability of F‐Region Electron Density

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We use Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model simulations nudged to realistic tides and their statistical day‐to‐day variabilities (DTDVs), derived from Michelson Interferometer for Global High‐Resolution Thermospheric Imaging/Ionospheric Connection Explorer observations, to estimate the relative importance of tidal ...

Probing the relationship between electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves and plasmaspheric plumes near geosynchronous orbit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Plasmaspheric plumes created during disturbed geomagnetic conditions have been suggested as a major cause of increased occurrences of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves at these times.

The Contribution of the Russell‐McPherron Effect to the Semiannual Variation in Thermospheric Density

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract A number of external sources and internal circulation mechanisms have been proposed to explain the well‐known semiannual variation in global mean thermospheric densities. We use the polarity of the Y $Y$‐component (dawn to dusk) of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) in the Geocentric Solar Equatorial (GSEQ) frame to identify the influence,

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...
