Illustration of how the planetary magnetopause standoff distance (Rmsd) is measured in our simulations. The distance is defined as the last closed planetary magnetic field line along the star–planet line (here shown in yellow). The black and blue lines represent the radial direction and planetary magnetic axis, respectively.
