Evaluation of the Atmospheric Chemical Entropy Production of Mars
Entropy, 2015 Thermodynamic disequilibrium is a necessary situation in a system in which complex emergent structures are created and maintained. It is known that most of the chemical disequilibrium, a particular type of thermodynamic disequilibrium, in Earth’s ...

Martian Bow Shock and Magnetic Pile-Up Barrier Formation Due to the Exosphere Ion Mass-Loading [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2011 Bow shock, formed by the interaction between the solar wind and a planet, is generated in different patterns depending on the conditions of the planet.

Mars' atmospheric neon suggests volatile-rich primitive mantle [PDF]
, 2021 Martian atmospheric neon (Ne) has been detected by Viking and also found as trapped gas in Martian meteorites, though its abundance and isotopic composition have not been well determined. Because the timescale of Ne loss via atmospheric escape estimated from recent measurements with MAVEN is short (0.6--1 $\times$ 10$^8$ years), the abundance and ...

Tianwen-1 and MAVEN Observations of the Response of Mars to an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are solar transients that have significant effects on the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Mars. The simultaneous spacecraft observations from Tianwen-1/MOMAG in solar wind and multiple instruments on board

Model for Nitric oxide and its dayglow emission in the Martian upper atmosphere using NGIMS/MAVEN measured neutral and ion densities [PDF]
, 2022 A comprehensive study of Nitric oxide (NO) chemistry in the Martian upper atmosphere is restricted due to the lack of requisite measurements. NO is an abundant form of odd nitrogen species in the Martian lower atmosphere and its density depends on several photochemical processes.

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 ...

Thermospheric density responses to Martian dust storm in autumn based on MAVEN data
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2022 The unique seasonal surface dust storms on Mars have a significant impact on the Martian atmosphere. However, due to the lack of observations, semi-empirical models are difficult to simulate the density changes in the thermosphere with the existence of ...
