Spatio-Temporal Evolution of the March 2022 ICME Revealed by Multi-Point Observations of Forbush Decreases

Gaku Kinoshita, Beatriz Sanchez-Cano, Yoshizumi Miyoshi +13

Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) cause Forbush Decreases (FDs) effects, which are local decreases in background galactic cosmic rays (GCR). Even though FDs can be obse…

Development of a bunching ionizer for TOF mass spectrometers with reduced resources

Oya Kawashima, Satoshi Kasahara, Yoshifumi Saito +3

In some types of mass spectrometers, such as Time of Flight mass spectrometers (TOF-MSs), it is necessary to control pulsed beams of ions. This can be easily accomplished by applyi…

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…

Development of an electron impact ion source with high ionization efficiency for future planetary missions

Oya Kawashima, Naho Yanase, Yoshihisa Okitsu +6

Ion sources using electron impact ionization (EI) methods have been widely accepted in mass spectrometry for planetary exploration missions because of their simplicity. Previous sp…

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…

GEOTAIL observation of the SGR1806-20 Giant Flare: The first 600 ms

Toshio Terasawa, Yasuyuki Tanaka, Yasuhiro Takei +14

On December 27, 2004, plasma particle detectors on the GEOTAIL spacecraft detected an extremely strong signal of hard X-ray photons from the giant flare of SGR1806-20, a magnetar c…
