Reconstruction of nonmonotonic electron density profiles of the Martian topside ionosphere
Planetary and Space Science, 2010 One of the problems in reconstructing the real ionosphere from an ionogram is the occurrence of a 'valley,' where electron density decreases with altitude and make a non-monotonic profile.

Electron Temperature in the Martian Ionosphere
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 1972Abstract Electron temperatures in the Martian ionosphere at the times of Mariner 4 and 6 missions are calculated in the continuous slowing down approximation by using new molecular data. It is concluded that thermal equilibrium between electron and neutral temperatures in the lower part of the ionosphere may exist only when the solar ...

The Solar Wind Interaction With the Martian Ionosphere/Atmosphere
Space Science Reviews, 2006The interaction of the solar wind with the Martian exosphere and ionosphere leads to significant loss of atmosphere from the planet. Spacecraft data confirm that this is the case. However, the issue is how much is actually lost. Given that spacecraft coverage is sparse, simulation is one of the few ways for these estimates to be made. In this paper the

Martian Ionospheric Observation and Modelling
2020Abstract The Martian ionosphere is a plasma embedded within the neutral upper atmosphere of the planet. Its main source is the ionization of the CO2-dominated Martian mesosphere and thermosphere by energetic EUV solar radiation. The ionosphere of Mars is subject to an important variability induced by changes in its forcing mechanisms (

Ion-neutral reactions in the martian ionosphere
Planetary and Space Science, 1966Abstract A number of reactions that might be important in the martian ionosphere have been studied and their rate coefficients have been measured with a pulsed flowing afterglow system. One of the most important of these is O+ + CO2 → O2+ + CO, which has a rate coefficient of about 10−9 cm+3 sec−1.

The Martian thermosphere/ionosphere at high and low solar activities
Advances in Space Research, 1996Abstract We compare here models of the thermosphere/ionosphere of Mars at low and high solar activities, and we present heating rates and efficiencies due to the absorption of solar radiation in the 18 to 2000 A range. Using neutral model densities from the NCAR Mars Thermospheric General Circulation Model (MTGCM) of Bougher and co-workers, and solar

Electron impact ionization in the Martian ionosphere
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007A number of distinct hot plasma flux tubes are detected in the Martian ionosphere, primarily formed when the magnetospheric plasma is magnetically connected to the upper ionosphere. The electron reflectometer measurements have shown that magnetospheric electrons are sometimes observed not only close to the ionopause, but at low altitudes (

The Martian ionosphere in light of the Viking observations
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1978A theoretical model has been constructed in which the ion density and the ion and electron temperature distributions are calculated by solving the coupled continuity‐momentum equations and the coupled energy equations. The latest experimental results from the Viking 1 and 2 landers are used to vary some of the parameters in the model in order to obtain
