Local Interstellar Flow Parameters from the First Intersection of IMAP-Lo's Parameter Tubes

Nathan A. Schwadron, Mitchell M. Shen, Fatemeh Rahmanifard +24

The Sun's motion through the interstellar medium creates a flow of interstellar neutral (ISN) atoms through the heliosphere. ISN He, due to its high universal abundance and relativ…

Storm-Time Cusp Precipitation: Insights from TRACERS Multi-Crossing Observations

Shirsh Lata Soni, David M. Miles, Jasper Halekas +12

The dayside cusp provides a direct pathway for solar wind plasma entry into the magnetosphere ionosphere system through magnetic reconnection. Using low altitude ion and electron m…

Energy partitioning between thermal and non-thermal electrons and ions in magnetotail reconnection

Abhishek Rajhans, Mitsuo Oka, Marit Øieroset +9

Magnetic reconnection is an explosive energy release event. It plays an important role in accelerating particles to high non-thermal energies. These particles often exhibit energy…

Observation of O+ Characteristics During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State Induced by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection

Haoming Liang, Li-Jen Chen, Stephen A. Fuselier +7

We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of oxygen ions (O+) during a coronal mass ejection in April 2023 when the solar wind was sub-Alfvénic and Alfvén wings formed. Fo…

Interaction of the Prominence Plasma within the Magnetic Cloud of an ICME with the Earth's Bow Shock

Hadi Madanian, Li-Jen Chen, Jonathan Ng +5

The magnetic cloud within an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is characterized by high magnetic field intensities. In this study, we investigate the interaction of a mag…

Evidence for Abiotic Dimethyl Sulfide in Cometary Matter

Nora Hänni, Kathrin Altwegg, Michael Combi +5

Technological progress related to astronomical observatories such as the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) allows searching for signs of life beyond our Solar Sys…
