DOI: 10.1002/2016ja023729
Abstract: The magnetosheath contains an array of waves, instabilities, and nonlinear magnetic structures which modify global plasma properties by means of various wave-particle interactions. The present work demonstrates that ion-scale magnetic field structures (∼0.2–0.5 Hz) observed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073031
Abstract: Using gross averages of the azimuthal component of flow in Saturn's magnetosheath, we find that flows in the pre-noon sector reach a maximum value of roughly half that of the post-noon side. Corotational magnetodisc plasma… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089613
Abstract: We analyze multipoint measurements in magnetosheath plasmas, just upstream of the Earth's magnetopause, to investigate the morphology of the turbulent fields and coincident 3‐D ion distributions observed. Using interferometric and generalized wave polarization analyses, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl103347
Abstract: Interactions between solar wind ions and neutral hydrogen atoms in Earth's exosphere can lead to the emission of soft X‐rays. Upcoming missions such as SMILE and LEXI aim to use soft X‐ray imaging to study… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/angeo-36-1171-2018
Abstract: Abstract. We use a global hybrid-Vlasov simulation for the magnetosphere, Vlasiator, to investigate magnetosheath high-speed jets. Unlike many other hybrid-kinetic simulations, Vlasiator includes an unscaled geomagnetic dipole, indicating that the simulation spatial and temporal dimensions… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/angeo-38-1045-2020
Abstract: Abstract. Bounded by the bow shock and the magnetopause, the magnetosheath forms the interface between solar wind and magnetospheric plasmas and regulates solar wind-magnetosphere coupling. Previous works have revealed pronounced dawn-dusk asymmetries in the magnetosheath… read more here.
