MESSENGER observations of Mercury's planetary ion escape rates and their dependence on true anomaly angle
Weijie Sun, Ryan M. Dewey, Xianzhe Jia +11
This study investigates the escape of Mercury's sodium-group ions (Na+-group, including ions with m/q from 21 to 30 amu/e) and their dependence on true anomaly angle (TAA), i.e., M…
A kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic model with adaptive mesh refinement for modeling heliosphere neutral-plasma interaction
Yuxi Chen, Gabor Toth, Erick Powell +4
The charge exchange between the interstellar medium (ISM) and the solar wind plasma is crucial for determining the structures of the heliosphere. Since both the neutral-ion and neu…
What Sustained Multi-Disciplinary Research Can Achieve: The Space Weather Modeling Framework
Tamas I. Gombosi, Yuxi Chen, Alex Glocer +15
MHD-based global space weather models have mostly been developed and maintained at academic institutions. While the "free spirit" approach of academia enables the rapid emergence a…
Kinetic Modeling of Magnetospheres
Stefano Markidis, Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Gabor Toth +4
This paper presents the state of the art of kinetic modeling techniques for simulating plasma kinetic dynamics in magnetospheres. We describe the critical numerical techniques for…
Magnetohydrodynamic with embedded particle-in-cell simulation of the Geospace Environment Modeling dayside kinetic processes challenge event
Yuxi Chen, Gabor Toth, Heli Hietala +7
We use the MHD with embedded particle-in-cell model (MHD-EPIC) to study the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) dayside kinetic processes challenge event at 01:50-03:00 UT on 2015-…
Studying dawn-dusk asymmetries of Mercury's magnetotail using MHD-EPIC simulations
Yuxi Chen, Gabor Toth, Xianzhe Jia +5
MESSENGER has observed a lot of dawn-dusk asymmetries in Mercury's magnetotail, such as the asymmetries of the cross-tail current sheet thickness and the occurrence of flux ropes,…
