Scientific paper

Global three-dimensional computer simulations of the magnetosphere using a particle MHD code, reproduce the steady-state Dungey magnetospheric topology in three dimensions. The formation of a compression zone downstream of the tail neutral line that is probably bounded by wake shocks is observed. This compression zone changes its cross-section with distance downstream.
