Studies
of magnetospheric imaging.
By using superposed epoch analysis, these authors studied changes in F - region parameters before and after the onset
of magnetospheric convection, the latter represented by sudden increases of Kp - index above 4.
The primary physical mechanism responsible for much of this energy, mass, and momentum flow is magnetic reconnection, which can explosively convert magnetic energy into kinetic energy
of the magnetospheric plasma and disconnect or break parcels of magnetic flux.
We attribute the observed variability to inhomogeneities in the inner disk, near the corotation radius, where gas and dust may co-exist near the footprints
of the magnetospheric flows.
In addition, he was a pioneer in the discovery and study
of magnetospheric accretion onto newly forming stars, including the use of «veiling» to measure accretion rates, and was a co-discoverer of brown dwarfs by carrying out the first successful application of the «lithium test» for substellar objects in 1995.
Although the nature of the electromagnetic engine powering brown - dwarf aurorae is still to be determined, the scenario of the subcorotation
of magnetospheric plasma on closed field lines, powering in turn magnetosphere - ionosphere coupling currents, has been suggested as a plausible model for this case (Schrijver 2009; Nichols et al. 2012).
«As we move forward and continue shaping the future
of magnetospheric physics, the global picture of substorms and other important phenomena will become clearer as more spacecraft are deployed using innovative orbital configurations and instrumentation.»
After only a few months in orbit, the four spacecraft
of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission flew through a region of space where reconnection takes place and measured — for the first time — the movement of the electrons thought to be responsible for the phenomenon.

The solar UV irradiance from the thermosphere
