Identifying the magnetospheric driver of STEVE

Xiangning Chu, David Malaspina, Bea Gallardo-Lacourt +18

For the first time, we identify the magnetospheric driver of STEVE, east-west aligned narrow emissions in the subauroral region. In the ionosphere, STEVE is associated with subauro…

Earth wind as a possible source of lunar surface hydration

H. Z. Wang, J. Zhang, Q. Q. Shi +23

Understanding the sources of lunar water is crucial for studying the history of lunar evolution, and also the solar wind interaction with the Moon and other airless bodies. Recent…

3D Magnetic Reconnection with a spatially confined X-line extent -- Implications for Dipolarizing Flux Bundles and the Dawn-Dusk Asymmetry

Yi-Hsin Liu, Tak Chu Li, Michael Hesse +5

Using 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we study magnetic reconnection with the x-line being spatially confined in the current direction. We include thick current layers to pr…
