Kinetic-scale flux ropes: Observations and applications of kinetic equilibrium models
Fan Yang, Xu-zhi Zhou, Jing-huan Li +4
Magnetic flux ropes with helical field lines and strong core field are ubiquitous structures in space plasmas. Recently, kinetic-scale flux ropes have been identified by high-resol…
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…
Observations of rapidly growing whistler waves in front of space plasma shock
Jiansen He, Xingyu Zhu, Qiaowen Luo +8
Whistler mode wave is a fundamental perturbation of electromagnetic fields and plasmas in various environments including planetary space, laboratory and astrophysics. The origin an…
Observations of an Electron-cold Ion Component Reconnection at the Edge of an Ion-scale Antiparallel Reconnection at the Dayside Magnetopause
S. Q. Zhao, H. Zhang, Terry Z. Liu +11
Solar wind parameters play a dominant role in reconnection rate, which controls the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling efficiency at Earth's magnetopause. Besides, low-energy ions f…
Encounter of Parker Solar Probe and a Comet-like Object During Their Perihelia: Model Predictions and Measurements
Jiansen He, Bo Cui, Liping Yang +15
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) aims at exploring the nascent solar wind close to the Sun. Meanwhile, PSP is also expected to encounter small objects like comets and asteroids. In this wo…
Earth wind as a possible source of lunar surface hydration
H. Z. Wang, J. Zhang, Q. Q. Shi +23
Understanding the sources of lunar water is crucial for studying the history of lunar evolution, and also the solar wind interaction with the Moon and other airless bodies. Recent…
