However, the role of heavy ions (i.e., particles heavier than protons) in the solar wind on geomagnetic storms is not fully understood. Notably, scientific models and simulations of the Earth's magnetosphere predominately assume a pure-proton solar wind, despite heavy ions constituting over 15% of the solar wind mass density on average during solar maximum periods. By utilizing data from Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer onboard the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), we investigate the impact of heavy ion dynamic pressure during Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME) events on Earth's magnetosphere. Including heavy ion dynamic pressure into magnetopause calculations leads to an average reduction of 3.25% in Earth's magnetopause standoff distance during the ICME sheath interval, which could be larger during specific events. Additionally, we observe that heavy ions yield stronger correlations between maximum ion dynamic pressures during ICMEs and the corresponding minimum <i>Dst</i> and maximum auroral electrojet (AE) indices. The correlations with minimum <i>Dst</i> and maximum <i>AE</i> are stronger when considering minor ions (i.e., heavy ions excluding helium), with correlation coefficients of <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mi>r</mi>\u0000 <mo>=</mo>\u0000 <mo>−</mo>\u0000 <mn>0.57</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> $r=-0.57$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math> and <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mi>r</mi>\u0000 <mo>=</mo>\u0000 <mn>0.60</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> $r=0.60$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>, respectively, compared to <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mi>r</mi>\u0000 <mo>=</mo>\u0000 <mo>−</mo>\u0000 <mn>0.48</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> $r=-0.48$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math> and <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mi>r</mi>\u0000 <mo>=</mo>\u0000 <mn>0.43</mn>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> $r=0.43$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math> for protons alone.

The latitudinal, diurnal and monthly variations of the polarization of PLHR at 60/180 Hz may be associated with the altitude of the local crossover frequency surface dependent on the ambient ion fraction and geomagnetic field strength.

In this study, we analyze 16 magnetotail reconnection cases observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, focusing on the diffusion regions in the vicinity of the X-line. We find that turbulence tends to be stronger in diffusion regions with lower plasma density and plasma beta. Turbulence can enhance the electron energization process in the diffusion region primarily through electron heating. As turbulence intensifies, the continuous current layer of the diffusion region breaks into fragmented currents, suggesting a transition from laminar to turbulent reconnection. Moreover, spectral breaks between ion and electron cyclotron frequencies are consistently observed in magnetic and electric field fluctuations within reconnecting current sheets, suggesting that such breaks may be a characteristic feature of the reconnection process.
