The Role of Planetary Rotation in Polar Cusp Localization
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.Abstract Juno observations have revealed that Jupiter's polar cusps are displaced toward dusk and even the nightside, contradicting the Earth‐derived paradigm that is confined to narrower ranges near noon. These findings underscore the overlooked influence of planetary rotation on magnetospheric dynamics, exposing a critical gap in current theoretical ...

Fluctuating Interfaces in Barotropic Beta‐Plane Turbulence
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Zonal jets manifest themselves as bands with sharp interfaces in the vorticity configuration. We develop an algorithm to track these fluctuating vorticity interfaces and systematically investigate their characteristic spatio‐temporal behaviors.

Strong Tidal Dissipation at Uranus?
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Geophysical estimates of paleo heat fluxes on the Uranian moons Miranda and Ariel are in the range of 25–75 mW m ^−2 . For a canonical Uranus dissipation factor Q = 18,000, expected equilibrium tidal heating rates for these satellites are less than 6 mW ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Convection‐permitting regional climate models (CP‐RCMs) often outperform coarser‐resolution models in simulating precipitation, but assessing their accuracy across resolutions and configurations remains challenging. This study evaluates the performance and sensitivity of different configurations of the sixth version of the Canadian Regional ...

Tilting Uranus via the migration of an ancient satellite
, 2022 Context. The 98{\deg}-obliquity of Uranus is commonly attributed to giant impacts that occurred at the end of the planetary formation. This picture, however, is not devoid of weaknesses. Aims.

Did Uranus' regular moons form via a rocky giant impactor? [PDF]
, 2022 The formation of Uranus' regular moons has been suggested to be linked to the origin of its enormous spin axial tilt (~98o). A giant impact between proto-Uranus and a 2–3 MEarth impactor could lead to a large tilt and to the formation of an impact ...

Soft X‐Ray Emission From Saturn's Magnetosheath II: Solar Wind Driving
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Saturn's magnetosphere is dominated by Enceladus‐sourced neutrals, which spread throughout the system into the magnetosheath. The neutrals can charge exchange with highly charged solar wind ions, causing soft X‐ray emission (<2 ${< } 2$ keV) upon de‐excitation of the ion.
