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…
Automated Classification of Plasma Regions at Mars Using Machine Learning
Yilan Qin, Chuanfei Dong, Hongyang Zhou +6
The plasma environment around Mars is highly variable because it is strongly influenced by the solar wind. Accurate identification of plasma regions around Mars is important for th…
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…
Interplanetary magnetic field controlled Alfvén wings at Earth during encounter of a coronal mass ejection
Yuxi Chen, Chuanfei Dong, Li-Jen Chen +2
In the vicinity of Earth's orbit, the typical solar wind Alfvén Mach number exceeds 5, and the super-Alfvénic solar wind drives a conventional magnetosphere configuration. However,…
Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33
We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the mag…
