Dear Colleagues,

A new Special Issue of Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Science on the topic of “Solar System Magnetosheaths” is now open for submissions. The scope will include the magnetosheaths of planets (including Earth), other solar system bodies (such as comets), solar wind transients (e.g., interplanetary coronal mass ejections) and the solar system heliosheath. Further details are available at:

https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/58904/magnetosheaths?utm_source=F-RTM&utm_medium=TED1&utm_campaign=PRD_TED1_T1_RT-TITLE

Contributions (original research papers, commentaries or review papers) are welcome on topics such as:

·        Magnetosheath structure,

·        Waves in magnetosheaths,

·        Transient features in magnetosheaths such as jets,

·        Reconnection, particle acceleration and turbulence in magnetosheaths,

·        Connections between the magnetosheath,and the  magnetopause, ionopause, cusps and ionosphere,

·        Comparative magnetosheaths (e.g., CME sheaths, and planetary or cometary magnetosheaths)

·        Methods and techniques for observing magnetosheaths such as global imaging using X-rays, 

·        The role of the magnetosheath in modulating solar wind-obstacle interactions 

·        New missions to study magnetosheaths such as SMILE for Earth.

Manuscript Summary Submission deadline: January 15, 2024

Paper Submission deadline: May 13, 2024
