Evolution of lunar wake potentials: structure, energy conversion, and their imprints on velocity distributions
Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Jasper S. Halekas +4
We study the evolution of electric potentials in the lunar wake. The wake potential exhibits two distinct spatial scales. The macroscopic scale arises from solar wind expansion int…
Wave Activity at MHD-ion Scales Associated with Switchbacks
Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Forrest Mozer +9
Magnetic switchbacks (SB) -- the localized magnetic structures with magnetic field direction inclined at an angle relative to the background -- in the young solar wind ha…
Inferring lunar wake potentials from electron phase space densities
Xin An, Shaosui Xu, Vassilis Angelopoulos +4
Inferring electric potentials from electron phase space density measurements in the lunar wake is complicated by two challenges: the asymmetry between the sunward and anti-sunward…
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…
Detection of magnetospheric ion drift patterns at Mars
Chi Zhang, Hans Nilsson, Yusuke Ebihara +20
Mars lacks a global magnetic field, and instead possesses small-scale crustal magnetic fields, making its magnetic environment fundamentally different from intrinsic magnetospheres…
CME Evolution in the Structured Heliosphere and Effects at Earth and Mars During Solar Minimum
Erika Palmerio, Christina O. Lee, Ian G. Richardson +13
The activity of the Sun alternates between a solar minimum and a solar maximum, the former corresponding to a period of "quieter" status of the heliosphere. During solar minimum, i…
The Influence of Magnetic Field Topology and Orientation on the Distribution of Thermal Electrons in the Martian Magnetotail
Murti Nauth, Christopher M. Fowler, Laila Andersson +4
Thermal (<1 eV) electron density measurements, derived from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution's (MAVEN) Langmuir Probe and Waves (LPW) instrument, are analyzed to produce…
Observations of Energized Electrons in the Martian Magnetosheath
K. Horaites, L. Andersson, S. J. Schwartz +5
This observational study demonstrates that the magnitude and location of energization of electrons in the Martian magnetosheath is more complex than previous studies suggest. Elect…
