Objective
This special issue is aimed at recent progress in the modeling and data analysis of the Earth’s magnetospheric soft X-ray emissions and ionospheric ultraviolet emissions, especially in support of the SMILE mission. It will provide systematic analyses on how to observe and study the large scale solar wind - magnetosphere - ionosphere coupling system by innovative remote sensing techniques.
Topics
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include the following:
● The estimation or modeling of the Solar Wind Charge eXchange (SWCX) soft X-ray emissions from structures on the Earth’s magnetopause.
● The algorithms to analyze the soft X-ray images of magnetosphere and derive boundary information.
● Data analysis of soft X-ray emission from the astrophysics missions, or the abundance of X-ray source ions in solar wind with solar wind monitors.
● Simulation and observation of aurora and particle precipitation in the ionosphere.
● Joint studies of SMILE mission with ground-based observatory and other space missions.
● Other studies related to the imaging of the solar wind – magnetosphere – ionosphere system, or studies that potentially contribute to the SMILE mission.
Timeline:
● Special issue call for paper: July 20th 2022.
● Submission deadline: December 31st 2022.
● Special issue completed: April 31st 2023.
Your paper will appear online as soon as it is accepted. All accepted papers of special issue will be published in the third issue of 2023.
