One of the most important issues in space physics is to identify the dominant processes that
transfer energy from the solar wind to energetic particle populations in Earth's inner …

Dayside transients, such as hot flow anomalies, foreshock bubbles, magnetosheath jets, flux
transfer events, and surface waves, are frequently observed upstream from the bow shock …

It is argued here that the inner heliosphere is filled with a network of entangled magnetic flux
tubes and that the flux tubes are fossil structures that originate at the solar surface. 65,860 …

We review the basic physics of the field-aligned current (FAC) systems which transmit
energy and stress between the magnetosheathmagnetosphere system, and the ionosphere …

Venus has intrigued planetary scientists for decades because of its huge contrasts to Earth,
in spite of its nickname of “Earth's Twin”. Its invisible upper atmosphere and space …

Interplanetary discontinuities and their geomagnetic effects are reviewed for
magnetospheric/space weather researchers. Discontinuities are particularly useful as …

We employ 2.5‐D electromagnetic, hybrid simulations that treat ions kinetically via particle‐
in‐cell methods and electrons as a massless fluid to study the formation and properties of a …

Magnetopause position is controlled mainly by the solar wind dynamic pressure and north‐
south interplanetary magnetic field component and these quantities are included in different …

Hot flow anomalies (HFAs) result from the interaction of an interplanetary current sheet with
Earth's bow shock and were discovered over a decade and a half ago. The deflected flow …

The plasma sheet is populated in part by the solar wind plasma. Four solar entry
mechanisms are examined:(1) double cusp or double lobe reconnection,(2) Kelvin …
