The magnetometer instrument MPO-MAG on-board the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) of
the BepiColombo mission en-route to Mercury is introduced, with its instrument design, its …

This paper gives an overview of the insights into the magnetic reconnection process
obtained by in-situ measurements across current sheets found in planetary magnetospheres …

During MESSENGER's third flyby of Mercury, the magnetic field in the planet's magnetic tail
increased by factors of 2 to 3.5 over intervals of 2 to 3 minutes. Magnetospheric substorms at …

Dawn–dusk asymmetries are ubiquitous features of the coupled solar-wind–magnetosphere–
ionosphere system. During the last decades, increasing availability of satellite and ground …

A key feature of collisionless magnetic reconnection is the formation of Hall magnetic and
electric field structure in the vicinity of the diffusion region. Here we present multi‐point …

This review paper summarizes the research of Mercury's magnetosphere in the Post-
MESSENGER era and compares its dynamics to those in other planetary magnetospheres …

More than half a century after the discovery of Pi2 pulsations, Pi2 research is still vigorous
and evolving. Especially in the last decade, new results have provided supporting evidence …

We investigate current‐driven modes developing at jet fronts during collisionless
reconnection. Initial evolution of the reconnection is simulated using conventional 2‐D setup …

Observations of the Earth's magnetotail made by the four Cluster spacecraft on October 2
2003 are presented. Multi‐spacecraft analysis is used to show that the variations in field and …

Many phenomena in the Earth's magnetotail have characteristic temporal scales of several
minutes and spatial scales of a few Earth radii (RE). Examples of such transient and …
