Global MHD Simulations: Magnetosphere–Ionosphere Coupling Dependence on Conductance Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Eighty‐five geomagnetic storms were simulated with the space weather modeling framework Geospace model using two different ionospheric conductance models. One set used the legacy conductances within the Ridley ionosphere model, while the other set used the newly developed conductance model for extreme events conductance model.

Cold ions of ionospheric origin observed at the dayside magnetopause and their effects on magnetic reconnection [PDF]

, 2015
Thesis (Ph.D.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2015Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause is one of the most important mechanisms that efficiently transfers solar wind particles, momentum, and energy into the magnetosphere.

Derivation of Ambient Electron Density Using Spacecraft Potential Measurements From the MMS and Van Allen Satellites: Application to the Plasmasphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We investigate the empirical relationship between the spacecraft potential (Vs) measured by the Electric Field Double Probes, and the electron density (Ne) measured by the Fast Plasma Instrument on the MMS spacecraft. We derive their relationship during fast‐mode intervals when the Active Spacecraft Potential Control Devices are off.

Direct Observations of Magnetic Reconnections at the Magnetopause of the Martian Mini‐Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters
While Mars lacks a global intrinsic magnetic field, it does exhibit crustal magnetic anomalies (mostly in its Southern Hemisphere). These crustal magnetic anomalies directly interact with solar wind, which forms a mini‐magnetosphere and a region denoted ...

Impact of Induced Electric Fields Inside the Magnetopause on Magnetopause Shadowing of Radiation Belt Electrons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Loss of relativistic electrons with energies above 0.5 MeV through the magnetopause, commonly referred to as magnetopause shadowing, has been extensively investigated using both simulations and observations. However, direct and systematic observational evidence remains limited. In this study, we extend a previously developed magnetopause model

Determining the Magnetopause Location With SMILE‐SXI Using a Constrained Solar Wind Independent SWCX Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The soft X‐ray imager (SXI) on the SMILE mission promises to revolutionize our understanding of the magnetopause by observing solar wind charge exchange emission from the magnetosheath on a global scale. The primary goal of this instrument is to infer the position and shape of the magnetopause from these images.

Kinetic Modeling of Inertial Alfvén Waves in the Solar Corona: Implications for Heating and Particle Acceleration

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Recent observations from Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter highlight the importance of Alfvén waves in solar coronal heating and particle acceleration. In this study, we investigate inertial Alfvén waves (IAWs), which operate at electron inertial scales, as a potential mechanism for plasma heating and charged particle acceleration in the ...

The Gannon Storm's Impact on Electric and Magnetic Fields in Italy: A Regional Perspective

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The intense May 2024 geomagnetic storm provided an opportunity to conduct the first analysis of geoelectric hazards in Italy. Data from three geomagnetic observatories and a magnetotelluric station were analyzed to examine the spatiotemporal evolution of storm‐induced variations.
