DOI: 10.1002/2015ja021809
Abstract: We use the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms data to investigate the magnetic field structure just outside the magnetopause and its time evolution for radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) events. When… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2016ja023544
Abstract: The location of a planetary magnetopause is principally determined by the balance between solar wind dynamic pressure DP and magnetic and plasma pressures inside the magnetopause boundary. Previous empirical studies assumed that Saturn's magnetopause standoff… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019ja027623
Abstract: We have used a large number of magnetopause crossings by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to investigate macroscopic properties of this current sheet, with emphasis on the flanks of the magnetopause. Macroscopic features such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl090921
Abstract: Wave growth of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) emissions observed in the outer magnetosphere is mainly controlled by compression events resulting from solar wind dynamic pressure pulses. During such events wave growth is expected to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl091320
Abstract: We investigate whistler‐mode waves and broadband electrostatic waves (EWs) within an ion diffusion region (IDR) at the magnetopause. The quasi‐parallel whistlers are observed in the separatrix regions associated with the electron anisotropy or loss cone,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020ja028786
Abstract: Magnetic reconnection is a phenomenon that rearranges the topology of magnetic fields resulting in magnetic energy being transferred to particles. It is therefore a primary mechanism for energizing space plasmas (see recent book Gonzalez &… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020ja028800
Abstract: Magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause (MP) energises ambient plasma via the< release of magnetic energy and produces an "open" magnetosphere allowing solar wind particles to directly enter the ... read more here.
