Exploring Fundamental Particle Acceleration and Loss Processes in Heliophysics through an Orbiting X-ray Instrument in the Jovian System
W. Dunn, G. Berland, E. Roussos +41
Jupiter's magnetosphere is considered to be the most powerful particle accelerator in the Solar System, accelerating electrons from eV to 70 MeV and ions to GeV energies. How elect…
Direct evidence of magnetic reconnection onset via the tearing instability
Mayur R. Bakrania, I. Jonathan Rae, Andrew P. Walsh +4
Magnetic reconnection is a sporadic process responsible for energy release in space and laboratory plasmas. It is believed that the tearing mode instability may be responsible for…
Interplanetary Shock-induced Magnetopause Motion: Comparison between Theory and Global Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
Ravindra T. Desai, Mervyn P. Freeman, Jonathan P. Eastwood +10
The magnetopause marks the outer edge of the Earth's magnetosphere and a distinct boundary between solar wind and magnetospheric plasma populations. In this letter, we use global m…
The Plasma Universe: A Coherent Science Theme for Voyage 2050
D. Verscharen, R. T. Wicks, G. Branduardi-Raymont +13
In review of the White Papers from the Voyage 2050 process and after the public presentation of a number of these papers in October 2019 in Madrid, we as White Paper lead authors h…
Using dimensionality reduction and clustering techniques to classify space plasma regimes
Mayur R. Bakrania, I. Jonathan Rae, Andrew P. Walsh +2
Collisionless space plasma environments are typically characterised by distinct particle populations. Although moments of their velocity distribution functions help in distinguishi…
Statistics of Solar Wind Electron Breakpoint Energies Using Machine Learning Techniques
Mayur R. Bakrania, I. Jonathan Rae, Andrew P. Walsh +4
Solar wind electron velocity distributions at 1 au consist of a thermal "core" population and two suprathermal populations: "halo" and "strahl". The core and halo are quasi-isotrop…
Exploring Solar-Terrestrial Interactions via Multiple Observers (A White Paper for the Voyage 2050 long-term plan in the ESA Science Programme)
G. Branduardi-Raymont, M. Berthomier, Y. Bogdanova +24
This paper addresses the fundamental science question: "How does solar wind energy flow through the Earth's magnetosphere, how is it converted and distributed?". We need to underst…
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…
Corotating Magnetic Reconnection Site in Saturn's Magnetosphere
Zhonghua Yao, A. J. Coates, L. C. Ray +12
Using measurements from the Cassini spacecraft in Saturn's magnetosphere, we propose a 3D physical picture of a corotating reconnection site, which can only be driven by an interna…
