Deep-Learning Identification and Global Characterization of Energetic O2+ Beams at Mars
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Kathleen G. Hanley +11
Martian ionospheric ions can be accelerated away from Mars by the solar wind, contributing substantially to atmospheric ion escape. Here, we develop a U-Net-based image segmentatio…
Simultaneous Mars-orbit observations reveal Kelvin-Helmholtz instability-driven bulk atmospheric ion escape
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Gangkai Poh +11
Atmospheric ion escape driven by the solar wind is a key process controlling the long-term loss of the Martian atmosphere. Localized plasma clouds can carry substantial fluxes of p…
Spin-Orbit Geometry of AU Mic b and c from Back-to-Back Transits Observed Contemporaneously with Magellan PFS, LCOGT, and CHEOPS
Zitao Lin, Gyula M. Szabó, Krzysztof Sz. Zieliński +37
Young planets offer a unique window into the early stages of planetary evolution. AU Mic is one of the nearest (9.8 pc) pre-main sequence stars (~20 Myr), hosting two transiting Ne…
Direct Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Wind Current Sheets near Mars
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Xinmin Li +10
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and ubiquitous process in astrophysical plasmas that converts magnetic energy into plasma kinetic and thermal energy. Throughout the heliosph…
Transition of Magnetic Reconnection Regimes in Partially Ionized Plasmas
Liang Wang, Chuanfei Dong, Yi-Min Huang +3
Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas plays a crucial role in a wide range of solar, astrophysical, and laboratory environments. While reconnection in such plasmas is…
Spectral Properties and Energy Injection in Mercury's Magnetotail Current Sheet
Xinmin Li, Chuanfei Dong, Liang Wang +8
Mercury's magnetotail hosts a thin and highly dynamic current sheet (CS), where magnetic reconnection and strong fluctuations frequently occur. Here, we statistically analyze magne…
Revisiting Mars' Induced Magnetic Field and Clock Angle Departures under Real-Time Upstream Solar Wind Conditions
Zhihao Cheng, Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong +5
Mars lacks a global intrinsic dipole magnetic field, but its interaction with the solar wind generates a global induced magnetosphere. Until now, most studies have relied on single…
Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Modeling the Martian Induced Magnetosphere
Jiawei Gao, Chuanfei Dong, Chi Zhang +6
Understanding the magnetic field environment around Mars and its response to upstream solar wind conditions provide key insights into the processes driving atmospheric ion escape.…
Observation of a Knotted Electron Diffusion Region in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection
Xinmin Li, Chuanfei Dong, Hantao Ji +6
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that alters the magnetic field topology and releases magnetic energy. Most numerical simulations and spacecraft observations a…
Planar Collisionless Shock Simulations with Semi-Implicit Particle-in-Cell Model FLEKS
Hongyang Zhou, Yuxi Chen, Chuanfei Dong +4
This study investigates the applicability of the semi-implicit particle-in-cell code FLEKS to heliospheric shock simulations. We examine one- and two-dimensional local planar shock…
