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…
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…
