Machine Learning Solar Wind Driving Magnetospheric Convection in Tail Lobes
Xin Cao, Jasper S. Halekas, Stein Haaland +2
To quantitatively study the driving mechanisms of magnetospheric convection in the magnetotail lobes on a global scale, we utilize data from the ARTEMIS spacecraft in the deep tail…

The Dayside Ionopause of Mars: Solar Wind Interaction, Pressure Balance, and Comparisons with Venus
F. Chu, Z. Girazian, F. Duru +5
Due to the lower ionospheric thermal pressure and existence of the crustal magnetism at Mars, the Martian ionopause is expected to behave differently from the ionopause at Venus. W…

Electrostatic Waves and Electron Heating Observed over Lunar Crustal Magnetic Anomalies
F. Chu, J. S. Halekas, Xin Cao +3
Above lunar crustal magnetic anomalies, large fractions of solar wind electrons and ions can be scattered and stream back towards the solar wind flow, leading to a number of intere…
