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…
The Preliminary Mauve Science Programme: Science themes identified for the first year of operations
Mauve Science Collaboration, Marcel Agueros, Don Dixon +22
Mauve is a low-cost small satellite developed and operated by Blue Skies Space Ltd. The payload features a 13 cm telescope connected with a fibre that feeds into a UV-Vis spectrome…
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…
Anisotropic Turbulent Flows Observed in Above the Loop-top Regions During Solar Flares
Xiaoyan Xie, Chengcai Shen, Katharine Reeves +6
Solar flare above-the-loop-top (ALT) regions are vital for understanding solar eruptions and fundamental processes in plasma physics. Recent advances in 3D MHD simulations have rev…
