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…

SADCat: A Catalog of Supra-Arcade Downflow Events in Solar Flares

Trestan F. Simon, Ryan J. French

Supra-arcade downflows (SADs) are sunward-traveling features routinely observed in hot fan structures above magnetic loop arcades during eruptive solar flares. We manually compiled…

Comparing Monte Carlo Models of Impact Alteration of Planetary Atmospheres

MIkayla R. Huffman, David A. Brain, Kelsi N. Singer +2

One process that affects atmospheric surface pressure is impact bombardment. The evolution of a planet's atmosphere under impact bombardment is an open question. We use a Monte Car…

Stellar Forcing of (exo)Planetary Environments

Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Erika Palmerio, Manuel Güdel +13

The environments of exoplanets are fundamentally shaped by the magnetic activity of their host stars through radiative, plasma, and particle-driven processes. This article presents…

Upper Limits on Planet-Induced GHz Radio Emission from Inactive M Dwarfs

Jackie Villadsen, Carter Russell, Luna Guerrero +9

Nearby short-period exoplanet systems may produce detectable stellar radio emission due to sub-Alfvénic star-planet interaction (SPI), but there are no confirmed cases yet. We targ…

Maximum Lifetime of the Vegetative Biosphere

Jacob Haqq-Misra, Eric Wolf

We use a three-dimensional model to calculate steady-state climates at various intervals in Earth's future, across a parameter space of increasing insolation and decreasing CO…

Investigating Pre-flare Signatures in Spectroscopic Observations of an X9-class Solar Flare

Louis Seyfritz, Maria Kazachenko, Ryan French

On October 3rd, 2024, the Sun emitted an X9.0-class flare from active region NOAA 13842. The event was recorded by multiple space-based instruments, beginning hours before the erup…

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges

Kya C. Sorli, Paul O. Hayne, Lucas Lange +1

Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation-driven darkening due to illumination and s…

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…

Anti-Solar Differential Rotation May Have Revived Magnetic Braking in the Subgiant 31 Aquilae

Travis S. Metcalfe, Jennifer L. van Saders, Thomas R. Ayres +16

Recent observations have shown that sufficiently slow rotation disrupts the organization of large-scale magnetic field in older main-sequence stars, leading to weakened magnetic br…

Empirical flare energy limits for the largest historical sunspots

N. A. Krivova, T. Chatzistergos, M. Kazachenko +1

Extreme solar particle events reveal that the Sun can occasionally produce eruptions significantly more energetic than those observed in the modern era. These events are thought to…
