A living catalog of stream interaction regions in the Parker Solar Probe era
R. C. Allen, G. C. Ho, L. K. Jian +15
Stream interaction regions (SIRs) and corotating interaction regions (CIRs) are important phenomena in heliospheric physics. These large-scale structures vary temporally and spatia…
Simultaneous Mars-orbit observations reveal Kelvin-Helmholtz instability-driven bulk atmospheric ion escape
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Gangkai Poh +11
Atmospheric ion escape driven by the solar wind is a key process controlling the long-term loss of the Martian atmosphere. Localized plasma clouds can carry substantial fluxes of p…
Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual-Lobe Reconnection
M. Øieroset, S. A. Fuselier, J. B. Bonnell +20
We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS-2 orbits through the northern low-altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS-2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and…
Effects of the May 2024 Solar Storm on the Earth's Radiation Belts Observed by CALET on the International Space Station
Anthony Ficklin, Alessandro Bruno, Lauren Blum +6
In May 2024, extraordinary solar activity triggered a powerful solar storm, impacting Earth and producing the extreme geomagnetic storm of May 10-11, the most intense since 2003. T…
An Enhanced "Flux-Corrected Transport"-Based Plasmasphere Refilling Model
Jaden Fitzpatrick, Kausik Chatterjee, Naomi Maruyama
A previously developed multi-ion, two-stream Flux-Corrected Transport (FCT) hydrodynamic model for plasmasphere refilling has been extended to incorporate self-consistent electron…
Verification of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center solar flare forecast (1998-2024)
Enrico Camporeale, Thomas E. Berger
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issues the official U.S. government forecast for M-class and X-class solar flares, yet the skill of these forecasts has never been c…
Observation of a Knotted Electron Diffusion Region in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection
Xinmin Li, Chuanfei Dong, Hantao Ji +6
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that alters the magnetic field topology and releases magnetic energy. Most numerical simulations and spacecraft observations a…
Suppression of the collisionless tearing mode by flow shear: implications for reconnection onset in the Alfvénic solar wind
A. Mallet, S. Eriksson, M. Swisdak +1
We analyse the collisionless tearing mode instability of a current sheet with a strong shear flow across the layer. The growth rate decreases with increasing shear flow, and is com…
Extent of the Magnetotail of Venus From the Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe and BepiColombo Flybys
Niklas J. T. Edberg, David J. Andrews, J. Jordi Boldú +20
We analyze data from multiple flybys by the Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, and Parker Solar Probe (PSP) missions to study the interaction between Venus' plasma environment and the sol…
First direct observations of interplanetary shock impact angle effects on actual geomagnetically induced currents: The case of the Finnish natural gas pipeline system
Denny M. Oliveira, Eftyhia Zesta, Sergio Vidal-Luengo
The impact of interplanetary (IP) shocks on the Earth's magnetosphere can greatly disturb the geomagnetic field and electric currents in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. At hig…
Impacting the dayside Martian ionosphere from above and below: Effects of the impact of CIRs and ICMEs close to aphelion (April 2021) and during dust storms (June-July 2022) seen with MAVEN ROSE
Marianna Felici, Jennifer Segale, Paul Withers +6
We use 62 electron density profiles collected by the Radio Occultation Science Experiment (ROSE), on MAVEN, when Mars was hit by CIRs and ICMEs close to aphelion (April 2021) and d…
Unveiling plasma energization and energy transport in the Earth Magnetospheric System: the need for future coordinated multiscale observations
A. Retino, L. Kepko, H. Kucharek +31
Energetic plasma is everywhere in the Universe. The terrestrial Magnetospheric System is a key case where direct measures of plasma energization and energy transport can be made in…
Reimagining Heliophysics: A bold new vision for the next decade and beyond
Ian J. Cohen, Dan Baker, Jacob Bortnik +25
The field of Heliophysics has a branding problem. We need an answer to the question: ``What is Heliophysics\?'', the answer to which should clearly and succinctly defines our scien…
Magnetic Field Draping in Induced Magnetospheres: Evidence from the MAVEN Mission to Mars
A. R. Azari, E. Abrahams, F. Sapienza +8
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission has been orbiting Mars since 2014 and now has over 10,000 orbits which we use to characterize Mars' dynamic space environ…
Machine Learning Interpretability of Outer Radiation Belt Enhancement \& Depletion Events
Donglai Ma, Jacob Bortnik, Qianli Ma +2
We investigate the response of outer radiation belt electron fluxes to different solar wind and geomagnetic indices using an interpretable machine learning method. We reconstruct t…
