Solar wind fast streams emanating from solar coronal holes cause recurrent, moderate
intensity geomagnetic activity at Earth. Intense magnetic field regions called Corotating …

We examine the pitch angle distribution (PAD) of suprathermal electrons (> 40 keV) inside
the flux pileup regions (FPRs) that are located behind the dipolarization fronts (DFs), in order …

Abstract The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission has obtained comprehensive
particle and magnetic field measurements. The Solar Wind Electron Analyzer provides …

A review of the impact of the cold-ion and cold-electron populations in the Earth's
magnetosphere is presented. The cold populations are defined by total energy less than …

Recent numerical simulations suggest that as soon as the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI)
has grown nonlinearly to form a highly rolled‐up vortex, plasma mixing is inevitably …

Kelvin–Helmholtz instability plays a particularly important role in plasma transport at
magnetospheric boundaries because it can control the development of a turbulent boundary …

On 3 July 2001, the four Cluster satellites traversed along the dawnside magnetospheric
flank and observed large variations in all plasma parameters. The estimated magnetopause …

We illustrate some fundamental alterations of the solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction that
occur during low Mach number solar wind. We first show that low Mach number solar wind …

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 …

During periods of northward IMF, plasma sheet ions often have two components: hot
(magnetospheric origin) and cold (magnetosheath origin). The temperatures of the cold …
