Model Validation of M‐I Coupling in SWMF

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The accurate modeling of field‐aligned currents (FAC) and electron precipitation is critical for understanding magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling and improving space weather predictions. This study evaluates the performance of the SWMF in replicating observed FAC magnitudes and distributions, as well as electron precipitation during storms and ...

The Evolution of a Polar Cap Patch Into a Blob in the Nightside Ionosphere: Direct Observations of Multiple Blob Formation Mechanisms Acting Simultaneously on the Same Plasma

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract A polar cap patch was observed to exit the polar cap to become a blob as it entered the auroral oval on the nightside of the Earth under moderately quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp = 3−). Auroral particle precipitation led to an increase in the electron density of the blob.

Phase‐Space Synchronization Driven by Moon‐Magnetosphere Coupling in Gas Giants

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We present a new theoretical framework to describe the rapid and spatially localized loss of energetic particles in planetary radiation belts, focusing on interactions between gas giant magnetospheres and their moons. Observations show that flux depletions—known as microsignatures—often refill on timescales comparable to a single drift period,

Periodic Density Structures Observed in Ulysses Data: First Results

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Periodic density structures (PDSs) are advecting quasi‐periodic (periodicities between several minutes and several hours) density enhancements observed in the solar wind and corona. There is strong evidence that PDSs are formed at the Sun.

Characterizing the Signals and Backgrounds in a Low Earth Orbiting Cherenkov Detector, and Background Mitigation Strategies

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Cherenkov detectors have been used in space for decades to measure Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs), Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) and trapped particles. We present proof‐of‐concept GRAS/Geant4 simulations to both show that a cubic fused silica Cherenkov detector with SiPM in LEO has a good sensitivity to SEP and GCR protons as a function of cut‐
