Soft X‐Ray Emission From Saturn's Magnetosheath Part I: 3D Modeling From MHD Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Saturn's magnetosheath hosts a mixed population of water‐group neutrals and solar wind plasma. We present a 3‐D model of soft X‐ray emission by ion‐neutral charge exchange in the near‐equatorial magnetosheath. The model employs MHD simulation data of plasma properties at Saturn, Enceladus‐genic neutral populations extrapolated from existing ...

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,

Solar influences in the heliosphere: understanding coronal mass ejections and their associated magnetic clouds

open access: yes, 2011
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale explosions on the Sun that expel plasma and magnetic field into the heliosphere. The interplanetary counterparts of CMEs, termed interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs), are often directly observed by spacecraft ...

Radial Evolution of Interplanetary Shock Properties with Heliospheric Distance: Observations from Parker Solar Probe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present a comprehensive analysis of 66 interplanetary shocks observed by the Parker Solar Probe between 2018 November and 2024 January. Among these, 33 events fulfilled the Rankine–Hugoniot (R-H) conditions, ensuring reliable asymptotic plasma ...

The May 2024 Superstorm Coronal Mass Ejections as Observed by the Psyche Gamma‐Ray and Neutron Spectrometer

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We report new measurements of high‐energy protons ejected by the sun during the May 2024 Ganon superstorm. Our observations were made by the Neutron Spectrometer (NS) on the Psyche spacecraft, which was located at a solar distance of approximately 2 AU and a Sun‐Earth‐Probe separation angle of 75°.

Trajectories and Distribution of Interstellar Dust Grains In The Heliosphere

open access: yes, 2012
The solar wind carves a bubble in the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) known as the heliosphere. Charged interstellar dust grains (ISDG) encountering the heliosphere may be diverted around the heliopause or penetrate it depending on their charge-to ...

Variability of East–West Asymmetry in Energetic Storm Particle Intensities and Coronal Mass Ejection Deflection during Solar Cycles 23 and 24

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the variability of the east–west asymmetry in energetic storm particle (ESP) heavy ion intensities at interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) during solar cycles (SCs) 23 and 24.

Observations of the gamma-ray emission from the Quiescent Sun with Fermi Large Area Telescope during the first 7 years in orbit

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The high energy gamma-ray emission from the quiescent Sun is due to the interactions of cosmic ray (CR) protons and electrons with matter and photons in the solar environment.

Predicting CME Arrivals From L5 Heliospheric Imagers: The Impact of HI Track Length

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) mission has laid a foundation for advancing real‐time space weather forecasting by enabling the evaluation of heliospheric imager (HI) data for predicting coronal mass ejection (CME) arrivals at Earth.

Time distributions of solar energetic particle events: Are SEPEs really random?

open access: yes, 2009
Solar energetic particle events (SEPEs) can exhibit flux increases of several orders of magnitude over background levels and have always been considered to be random innature in statistical models with no dependence of any one event on the occurrence of ...
