Unlabelled: The lunar environment heliospheric X-ray imager (LEXI) and solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere link explorer (SMILE) will observe the magnetopause motion in soft X-rays to understand dayside reconnection modes as a function of solar wind conditions after their respective launches in the near future. To support their successful science mission, we investigate the relationship between the magnetopause position and the dayside reconnection rate by utilizing super dual auroral radar network (SuperDARN) observations and widely used empirical models of magnetopause position (Shue et al. in J Geophys Res 103:17691-17700.

Article Synopsis
  • The Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) is designed to capture x-ray images from solar wind interactions in Earth's magnetosheath, helping researchers understand energy transfer into Earth's magnetosphere.
  • As part of a lunar lander mission landing in Mare Crisium, LEXI features a unique array of 48 neodymium magnets to protect against interference from charged particles while minimizing stray magnetic fields.
  • A Runge-Kutta-based simulation model shows that LEXI's deflector array and other particle suppression methods effectively limit proton and electron contamination, ensuring the success of its imaging capabilities and offering insights for similar instruments.
