JGR: Space Physics Seeks Submissions on Underrepresented Topics

by M. Balikhin 3 June 202012 January 2023

Under a new editor in chief, the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics is encouraging more scientific papers on space instrumentation, numerical models, and solar physics.

“Electron Wings” Can Interfere with Spacecraft Measurements

by Mark Zastrow 26 February 202030 September 2021

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.

Using a Machine to Help Us Learn About Jupiter’s Aurora

by M. Liemohn 9 December 201927 January 2022

A first usage of principal component analysis on Hubble images of Jupiter’s auroral ovals reveals the most common patterns, and machine learning classification reveals their physical causes.

Charging Thunderclouds Affect Ionospheric Conductivity

by David Shultz 6 September 2019

As thunderstorm updrafts strengthen, electrification of clouds can heat the lower ionosphere, explaining prolonged disturbances to radio waves in the rarefied atmospheric layer.

Newly Discovered Electric Current System Very Close to Saturn

by M. Liemohn 20 August 201916 November 2021

In the tightly confined region between the innermost ring and the planet’s upper atmosphere, the Cassini spacecraft observed signatures of a previously undetected current system.

Holistic Views of the Nighttime Ionosphere

by M. Liemohn 22 July 201916 July 2019

The nightside ionosphere, at latitudes away from the auroral zone, should have very little charged particle density, but it doesn’t. A new comprehensive study of satellite data explains why.

The When and Where of Mesospheric Bores Revealed

by David Shultz 17 July 201914 February 2022

In a new study, the enigmatic gravity waves were seen most frequently at equatorial latitudes and propagating from the winter to the summer hemisphere.

Solar Properties Rival for Control of Mars’s Bow Shock

by M. Liemohn 9 July 20194 May 2022

While most planetary bow shocks are controlled by the solar wind, at Mars the solar EUV flux is equally important.

Red and Green Aurora Stop and Go for Different Reasons

by Viviane Pierrard 5 July 201911 August 2022

Green-line arc is found to be embedded within large-scale upward field aligned currents while red-line-only arc is found to be associated with low-energy precipitation bursts.
