EUV emissions from solar wind charge exchange in the Earth's magnetosheath: Three-dimensional global hybrid simulation
(2020-06-05)
In this paper, a three-dimensional (3-D) global hybrid simulation code and a 3-D geocoronal hydrogen model are used to systematically study the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions at 30.4nm produced by solar wind charge ...

Evolution of CIR storm on 22 July 2009
(2020-06-09)
Global images of ion intensities are deconvolved from TWINS ENA images during the main and recovery phase of a CIR storm on 22 July 2009. The global spatial ion images taken at different times, along with solar wind data, ...

Evolution of low-altitude and ring current ENA emissions from a moderate magnetospheric storm: Continuous and simultaneous TWINS observations
(2020-06-12)
The moderate storm of 22 July 2009 is the largest measured during the extended solar minimum between December 2006 and March 2010. We present observations of this storm made by the two wide-angle imaging neutral-atom ...
Experimental characterization of broadband electrostatic noise due to plasma compression
(2020-06-05)
For a wide variety of laboratory and space plasma environments, theoretical predictions state that plasmas are unstable to inhomogeneous flows over a very broad frequency range. Such sheared flows are generated in the ...
Explaining the Railsback stretch in terms of the inharmonicity of piano tones and sensory dissonance
(2015-10-26)
The perceptual results of Plomp and Levelt for the sensory dissonance of a pair of
pure tones are used to estimate the dissonance of pairs of piano tones. By using the spectra of tones measured for a real piano, the effect ...
Externally driven plasmaspheric ULF waves observed by the Van Allen Probes
(2020-06-05)
We analyze data acquired by the Van Allen Probes on 8 November 2012, during a period of extended low geomagnetic activity, to gain new insight into plasmaspheric ultralow frequency (ULF) waves. The waves exhibited strong ...

Field line distribution of mass density at geostationary orbit
(2020-06-05)
The distribution of mass density along the field lines affects the ratios of toroidal (azimuthally oscillating) Alfven frequencies, and given the ratios of these frequencies, we can get information about that distribution. ...
Fine structure of low-energy H+ in the nightside auroral region
(2022-10-12)
Low-energy H+ data with 6-s resolution from the retarding ion mass spectrometer instrument on DE 1 have been analyzed to reveal the fine structure at middle altitudes of the nightside auroral region. A new method for ...
Foreshock wave interaction with the magnetopause: Signatures of mode conversion
(2022-09-30)
Our previous hybrid simulation (Shi et al., 2013) under a radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and a supercritical solar wind Mach number has shown that foreshock compressional waves originated from the quasi-parallel ...

Free-Boundary Axisymmetric MHD Equilibrium
(2018-07-09)
The calculation of equilibrium conditions is a common task in the study and modeling of magnetic-confinement experiments for con- trolled nuclear fusion, in which a high-temperature plasma is confined in a finite region ...
