The previous consensus that magnetic dips in the magnetosheath can be attributed to non-propagating mirror waves is now shown to be oversimplified.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Electrons energized and trapped at Mars were thought to lose energy inside the planet’s magnetosheath, but new research suggests a different explanation of spacecraft data.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Most boundaries in space are governed by magnetic fields, but not far behind the Earth, where the field change across the magnetopause plays very little role in the pressure balance relationship.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Data from the Cassini spacecraft show that the cusp regions of Saturn’s magnetic field—where it connects to the Sun’s magnetic field—have similarities to Earth’s and also intriguing differences.Read More »Planetary Sciences
