Variation of Floating Potential in the Topside Ionosphere Observed by STSAT-1 [PDF]
In this study, we investigated the effect of space plasmas on the floating potential variation of a low-altitude, polar-orbiting satellite using the Langmuir Probe (LP) measurement onboard the STSAT-1 spacecraft.

A Study on Second Harmonic Excitation in Electron Beam–Plasma Instability
The electron beam–plasma interaction is a fundamental nonlinear plasma process that is frequently taking place in space and laboratory plasmas. Such an interaction is found to generate electromagnetic waves observed in space plasmas.

SOTE: A Nonlinear Method for Magnetic Topology Reconstruction in Space Plasmas
Complex magnetic structures are ubiquitous in turbulent astrophysical plasmas. Such structures can be host to many dynamic processes, such as magnetic reconnection and energy dissipation. Thus, revealing the 3D topologies of these structures is necessary.

Separator reconnection with antiparallel/component features observed in magnetotail plasmas [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection (MR), a fundamental process in space plasmas that changes magnetic topology and converts magnetic energy into kinetic and thermal energies, is an ultimate driver of space weather.

Lower-hybrid waves generated by anomalous Doppler resonance in auroral plasmas
This paper describes sonic aspects of lower-hybrid wave activity in space plasmas. Lower-hybrid waves are particularly important since they can transfer energy efficiently between electrons and ions in a collisionless magnetized plasma.

Experimental and Analytical Studies of Merging Plasma Loops on the Caltech Solar Loop Experiment [PDF]
Of crucial importance for magnetized plasmas is magnetic helicity, a topological quantity that measures the knottedness or twistedness of the magnetic field. A universal relaxation theory, applicable to astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, dictates the

Clustering of ions at atomic dimensions in quantum plasmas
By means of particle simulations of the equations of motion for ions interacting among themselves under the influence of newly discovered Shukla–Eliasson attractive force (SEAF) in a dense quantum plasma, we demonstrate that the SEAF can bring ions ...

Dusty plasmas: from Saturn’s rings to semiconductor processing devices
Dusty plasmas are plasmas containing solid particles in the size range of about 10 nm—10 μm. The particles acquire an electrical charge by collecting electrons and ions from the plasma, or by photo-electron emission if they are exposed to UV radiation ...
