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…

Observations of kinetic-size magnetic holes in the magnetosheath

S. T. Yao, X. G. Wang, Q. Q. Shi +25

Magnetic holes (MHs), with a scale much greater than \r{ho}i (proton gyroradius), have been widely reported in various regions of space plasmas. On the other hand, kinetic-size mag…

Satellite Observations of Separator Line Geometry of Three-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection

C. J. Xiao, X. G. Wang, Z. Y. Pu +14

Detection of a separator line that connects magnetic nulls and the determination of the dynamics and plasma environment of such a structure can improve our understanding of the thr…
