Abstract: A fraction of the magnetic flux which threads the photosphere reaches sufficient coronal altitude to be dragged out by the solar wind and form the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF). Directly measuring this “open solar flux”… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Impact-generated dust clouds were recognized by spacecraft observations around several planetary satellites, including the Moon. Here we propose a method of recovering the initial velocity distribution of ejecta particles on a satellite surface by… read more here.

Abstract: Spacecraft sometimes produce a form of electrical self-interference as they zip through plasmas in space—a previously unreported effect that may be lurking in old data sets. read more here.
