The project "Development of criteria on magnetospheric energization during geomagnetic storms" will be carried out during a two-week (June 14-30, 2018) visit of Prof Ramon Lopez, from Texas University, to the research Group of Dr. Walter Gonzalez of INPE, in Sao Jose dos Campos, SP. The main objective of this Project is the development of a new criteria to measure the intensity of geomagn…
Plasma Torus of Ioduring the time interval of close encounter of the Cassini mission with Jupiter´s magnetosphere, in association with the volcanic activity of Io as monitored from ground detectors in the infrared. The visitor has great experience in the data analysis of both types of emissions as well as very goodknowledge about the physics related with the interaction of the plasma Toru…

Magnetic reconnection is a process which regulates solar wind's energy entry into the inner magnetosphere. Also, it modulates the intensity of the so-called geomagnetic storms and substorms. Their effects may cause fluctuations of signals on telecommunication systems; disruptions of the electrical systems at the Earth's surface by the action of geomagnetically induced currents, and also i…
The interplanetary medium is permeated by different magnetic field topologies that govern and influence the plasma particles flow in this environment. Magnetic reconnection process is considered as an important process for momentum and energy transfer from one medium to another. Recent observations from satellites in the solar wind have provided the study of flux transfer events in the in…

Earth's dayside magnetopause boundary is the region where magnetic field reconnection takes place, and the locations along the magnetopause where the reconnecting magnetic fields meet and have their topologies changed is referred to as the X-line. Given the current knowledge, there is still no consensus in the scientific community whether reconnection proceeds via a dominant single X-line…
It has been well accepted that the physical process known as magnetic reconnection plays a fundamental role in the so-called solar wind-magnetosphere interaction by allowing the transfer of mass, energy and momentum from the solar wind to the Earth's magnetosphere. Although extensive work on theoretical, observational and numerical perspectives of the magnetic reconnection process has bee…
