A Mechanism for Electrostatic Solitary Waves Observed in Ganymede’s Magnetopause
On 2021 June 7, the Juno spacecraft carried out a close flyby of Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon, traversing through the previously unexplored wake region as well as the magnetopause with a closest approach altitude of 1047 km.

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.

Wave Model Development in Multi-Ion Plasmas [PDF]
Near-earth space is composed of plasmas which embed a number of plasma waves. Space plasmas consist of electrons and multi-ion that determine local wave propagation characteristics.

Aspects of three-dimensional MHD : magnetic reconnection and rotating coronae [PDF]
Solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are very important for modelling laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, for example the solar and stellar coronae, as well as for modelling many of the dynamic processes that occur in these ...

Energy Flux Densities in Electron-only Magnetic Reconnection in Space Plasma
Electron-only magnetic reconnection, a novel form of magnetic reconnection recently discovered in plasma turbulence, exhibits distinct features from the well-studied standard magnetic reconnection with ion coupling.

Long-Term Independence of Solar Wind Polytropic Index on Plasma Flow Speed
The paper derives the polytropic indices over the last two solar cycles (years 1995–2017) for the solar wind proton plasma near Earth (~1 AU). We use ~92-s datasets of proton plasma moments (speed, density, and temperature), measured from the Solar

Hall Fields and Current Systems of Magnetic Reconnection under Asymmetric Conditions
The Hall effect is a key component of collisionless reconnection. A previous study showed that a quadrupolar Hall pattern under symmetric conditions degenerates into a bipolar pattern under highly asymmetric conditions.

Design considerations for the use of laser-plasma accelerators for advanced space radiation studies [PDF]
We present design considerations for the use of laser-plasma accelerators for mimicking space radiation and testing space-grade electronics. This novel application takes advantage of the inherent ability of laser-plasma accelerators to produce particle ...

Quasithermal Noise in Magnetized Plasma: Theory and Simulations
Quasithermal noise (QTN) spectroscopy has been extensively used as an accurate tool to measure electron density and temperature in unmagnetized space plasmas. The observed spectrum depends on both antenna geometry and plasma kinetic properties.
