Beyond the mini-solar maximum of solar cycle 24: Declining solar magnetic fields and the response of the terrestrial magnetosphere
M. Ingale, P. Janardhan, S. K. Bisoi
The paper investigates how the Earth's magnetopause and bow shock have expanded over the past four solar cycles in response to the long‑term decline of solar magnetic fields and so…

Particle orbits at the magnetopause: Kelvin-Helmholtz induced trapping
Matthieu Leroy, Bart Ripperda, Rony Keppens
The paper uses three‑dimensional resistive MHD simulations and guiding‑center test‑particle integration to examine how electrons move and gain energy in magnetopause Kelvin‑Helmhol…
