  • Evolution of Fluctuations during a Radial Alignment of the Solar Orbiter and Wind Spacecraft (2026) · The Astrophysical Journal · doi

    Identifying the fundamental modal components of fluctuations for the same plasma parcel at different locations has not yet been investigated in detail. The evolution of turbulence properties in the expanding solar wind is not fully developed and evolves with the expansion of the solar wind.

  • Predictive Value of Solar Wind Alfvénic Fluctuation‐Related Parameters for AE Index and Their Statistical Link to Relativistic Electron Enhancements in Radiation Belts (2026) · Journal of Geophysical Research Space Physics · doi

    Abstract Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar wind have substantial geoeffectiveness, yet their quantitative relationship with relativistic and ultra‐relativistic radiation belt electron acceleration—along with their potential as novel drivers for modeling energetic electron flux—remain underexplored.
