Parker Solar Probe Observations of High Plasma Beta Solar Wind from Streamer Belt
Jia Huang, J. C. Kasper, Davin E. Larson +23
In general, slow solar wind from the streamer belt forms a high plasma beta equatorial plasma sheet around the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing, namely the heliospheric pl…
MESSENGER observations of planetary ion enhancements at Mercury's northern magnetospheric cusp during Flux Transfer Event Showers
Weijie Sun, James A. Slavin, Anna Milillo +11
At Mercury, several processes can release ions and neutrals out of the planet's surface. Here we present enhancements of dayside planetary ions in the solar wind entry layer during…
Review of Mercury's Dynamic Magnetosphere: Post-MESSENGER Era and Comparative Magnetospheres
Weijie Sun, Ryan M. Dewey, Sae Aizawa +5
This review summarizes the research of Mercury's magnetosphere in the Post-MESSENGER era and compares its dynamics to those in other planetary magnetospheres, especially to those i…
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,…
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…
