Influence of Magnetic Fields on Precipitating Solar Wind Hydrogen at Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Solar wind protons can interact directly with the hydrogen corona of Mars through charge exchange, resulting in energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) able to penetrate deep into the upper atmosphere of Mars.

The Mars Topside Ionosphere Response to the X8.2 Solar Flare of 10 September 2017
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 On 10 September 2017, irradiance from a magnitude X8.2 solar flare impacted Mars while the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) orbiter was characterizing the Mars upper atmosphere.

MAVEN Observations of the Interloop Magnetic Reconnections at Mars
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Magnetic reconnection between neighboring magnetic field loops, the so-called interloop reconnection, is a common process to drive flares in the solar atmosphere.

Variability of Bow Shock Location at Mars [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999 Bow shock formation, in case the supersonic solar wind flow is hindered by the atmosphere of Mars, is investigated. The atoms newly ionized from the extensive neutral atmosphere of Mars are loaded to the solar wind.

Martian Proton Aurora Brightening Reveals Atmospheric Ion Loss Intensifying
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Martian proton aurora is a distinct aurora phenomenon resulting from the direct deposition of solar wind energy into Mars' dayside atmosphere. What solar wind parameters influence the aurora activity in the short term is yet unknown, as are the ...

Measurements of Forbush decreases at Mars: both by MSL on ground and by MAVEN in orbit
, 2017 The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD), on board Mars Science Laboratory's (MSL) Curiosity rover, has been measuring ground level particle fluxes along with the radiation dose rate at the surface of Mars since August 2012. Similar to neutron monitors at

The Atmospheres of Mars and Venus [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1961 Of all the planets which may exist in the Universe, only nine have been studied by man. As a result, one cannot classify planets with the same confidence that one has in classifying stars; there is no theory of planetary evolution comparable in development to the theory of stellar evolution.

Long-term variability of CO2 and O in the Mars upper atmosphere from MRO radio science data [PDF]
, 2015 We estimate the annual variability of CO2 and O partial density using approximately 6years of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) radio science data from August 2006 to January 2012, which cover three full Martian years (from the northern hemisphere summer
