Revealing a Systematic High-latitude Current Sheet at Jupiter

Yan Xu, Zhonghua Yao, Frederic Allegrini +7

Based on models derived from Earth's magnetotail, other planets with dipole magnetic fields, including Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn, were expected to possess similar magnetotail co…

GAMERA-OP: A three-dimensional finite-volume MHD solver for orthogonal curvilinear geometries

Hongyang Luo, Binzheng Zhang, Jiaxing Tian +6

We present GAMERA-OP (Orthogonal-Plus), a three-dimensional finite-volume magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) solver for orthogonal curvilinear geometries. The solver advances magnetic fiel…

Gas Kinetic Schemes for Solving the Magnetohydrodynamic Equations with Pressure Anisotropy

Hongyang Luo, John G. Lyon, Binzheng Zhang

In many astrophysical plasmas, the Coulomb collision is insufficient to maintain an isotropic temperature, and the system is driven to the anisotropic regime. In this case, magneto…

Toward a Next Generation Particle Precipitation Model: Mesoscale Prediction Through Machine Learning (a Case Study and Framework for Progress)

Ryan M. McGranaghan, Jack Ziegler, Téo Bloch +7

We advance the modeling capability of electron particle precipitation from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere through a new database and use of machine learning (ML) tools to gain…

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…

GAMERA: A three-dimensional finite-volume MHD solver for non-orthogonal curvilinear geometries

Binzheng Zhang, Kareem A. Sorathia, John G. Lyon +3

Efficient simulation of plasmas in various contexts often involves the use of meshes that conform to the intrinsic geometry of the system under consideration. We present here a des…
