Space Plasma Physics: A Review

Bruce T. Tsurutani, Gary P. Zank, Veerle J. Sterken +13

Owing to the ever-present solar wind, our vast solar system is full of plasmas. The turbulent solar wind, together with sporadic solar eruptions, introduces various space plasma pr…

Regression to the Mean can Explain Saturation of Geomagnetic Storms

Nithin Sivadas, David Sibeck, Varsha Subramanyan +4

Extreme space weather events on Earth occur during intervals of strong solar wind driving. The solar wind drives plasma convection and currents in the near-Earth space environment.…

A Turbulent Heating Model Combining Diffusion and Advection Effects for Giant Planet Magnetospheres

C. S. Ng, B. R. Neupane, P. A. Delamere +1

The ion temperature of the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn was observed to increase substantially from about 10 to 30 planet radii. Different heating mechanisms have been prop…

Observations of an Electron-cold Ion Component Reconnection at the Edge of an Ion-scale Antiparallel Reconnection at the Dayside Magnetopause

S. Q. Zhao, H. Zhang, Terry Z. Liu +11

Solar wind parameters play a dominant role in reconnection rate, which controls the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling efficiency at Earth's magnetopause. Besides, low-energy ions f…

Direct Multipoint Observations Capturing the Reformation of a Supercritical Fast Magnetosonic Shock

D. L. Turner, L. B. Wilson, K. A. Goodrich +12

Using multipoint Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations in an unusual string-of-pearls configuration, we examine in detail observations of the reformation of a fast magnetoso…

Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of foreshock transients at their very early stage

Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Hui Zhang +1

Foreshock transients are ion kinetic structures in the ion foreshock. Due to their dynamic pressure perturbations, they can disturb the bow shock and magnetosphere-ionosphere syste…

How Jupiter's Unusual Magnetospheric Topology Structures Its Aurora

Binzheng Zhang, Peter A. Delamere, Zhonghua Yao +10

Jupiter's bright persistent polar aurora and Earth's dark polar region indicate that the planets' magnetospheric topologies are very different. High-resolution global simulations s…

Electron acceleration by magnetosheath jet-driven bow waves

Terry Z. Liu, Heli Hietala, Vassilis Angelopoulos +2

Magnetosheath jets are localized fast flows with enhanced dynamic pressure. When they supermagnetosonically compress the ambient magnetosheath plasma, a bow wave or shock can form…

Statistical study of magnetosheath jet-driven bow waves

Terry Z. Liu, Heli Hietala, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3

When a magnetosheath jet (localized dynamic pressure enhancements) compresses ambient magnetosheath at a (relative) speed faster than the local magnetosonic speed, a bow wave or sh…
