Space Plasma Physics Science Opportunities for the Lunar Orbital Platform -Gateway
Iannis Dandouras, Matt G G T Taylor, Johan de Keyser +26
The Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway (LOP-Gateway, or simply Gateway) is a crewed platform that will be assembled and operated in the vicinity of the Moon by NASA and international p…
Drift Orbit Bifurcations and Cross-field Transport in the Outer Radiation Belt: Global MHD and Integrated Test-Particle Simulations
R. T. Desai, J. P. Eastwood, R. B. Horne +10
Energetic particle fluxes in the outer magnetosphere present a significant challenge to modelling efforts as they can vary by orders of magnitude in response to solar wind driving…
Interplanetary Shock-induced Magnetopause Motion: Comparison between Theory and Global Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
Ravindra T. Desai, Mervyn P. Freeman, Jonathan P. Eastwood +10
The magnetopause marks the outer edge of the Earth's magnetosphere and a distinct boundary between solar wind and magnetospheric plasma populations. In this letter, we use global m…
Multi-spacecraft Study of the Solar Wind at Solar Minimum: Dependence on Latitude and Transient Outflows
R. Laker, T. S. Horbury, S. D. Bale +15
The recent launches of Parker Solar Probe (PSP), Solar Orbiter (SO) and BepiColombo, along with several older spacecraft, have provided the opportunity to study the solar wind at m…
Self-Similarity of ICME Flux Ropes: Observations by Radially Aligned Spacecraft in the Inner Heliosphere
S. W. Good, E. K. J. Kilpua, A. T. LaMoury +3
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are a significant feature of the heliospheric environment and the primary cause of adverse space weather at the Earth. ICME propagatio…
Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Transition Region of Quasi-Parallel Shocks
I. Gingell, S. J. Schwartz, J. P. Eastwood +15
Using observations of Earth's bow shock by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we show for the first time that active magnetic reconnection is occurring at current sheets embedd…
Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
On the Role of Separatrix Instabilities in Heating the Reconnection Outflow Region
M. Hesse, C. Norgren, P. Tenfjord +10
A study of the role of microinstabilities at the reconnection separatrix can play in heating the electrons during the transition from inflow to outflow is being presented. We find…
Correlation of ICME Magnetic Fields at Radially Aligned Spacecraft
S. W. Good, R. J. Forsyth, J. P. Eastwood +1
The B-field structures of two ICMEs each observed by a pair of spacecraft close to radial alignment have been analysed. The ICMEs were observed in situ by MESSENGER and STEREO-B in…
Global impacts of a Foreshock Bubble: Magnetosheath, magnetopause and ground-based observations
Martin Archer, Drew Turner, Jonathan Eastwood +2
Using multipoint observations we show, for the first time, that Foreshock Bubbles (FBs) have a global impact on Earth's magnetosphere. We show that an FB, a transient kinetic pheno…
The role of pressure gradients in driving sunward magnetosheath flows and magnetopause motion
M. O. Archer, D. L. Turner, J. P. Eastwood +2
While pressure balance can predict how far the magnetopause will move in response to an upstream pressure change, it cannot determine how fast the transient reponse will be. Using…
