Beyond the Electrostatic Approach: Numerical Simulations of Martian Ionospheric Irregularities
AGU AdvancesNumerical simulations play an essential role in the study of ionospheric irregularities. In the past few decades, electrostatic simulations have successfully simulated the nonlinear evolution of terrestrial ionospheric irregularities.

MAVEN Observations of Metallic Fe+ Distributions in the Martian Ionosphere [PDF]
Geophysical Research LettersMetallic ions deposited in planetary atmospheres via meteoroid ablation are an invaluable tool for understanding electric fields, atmospheric winds, and minor ion transport. At Mars, metallic ion distributions are poorly understood.

Three‐dimensional Martian ionosphere model: I. The photochemical ionosphere below 180 km [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2013 We describe the Mars ionosphere with unprecedented detail in 3‐D, as simulated by a Mars general circulation model (the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique Mars GCM), and compare it with recent measurements. The model includes a number of recent extensions and improvements. Different simulations for a full Martian year have been performed.

Stationary flux ropes at the southern terminator of Mars [PDF]
, 2012 Flux ropes have long been observed in the upper atmosphere of Venus, and more recently at Mars. Here we present magnetic field measurements of flux ropes encountered at the southern terminator of Mars by Mars Global Surveyor, and compare them to a flux ...

Properties and models of the Martian bow shock
地球与行星物理论评, 2021 Mars does not have a global magnetic field of the internal origin, thus, the solar wind plasma can interact directly with the upper atmosphere and the ionosphere and be shocked with the mass-loading and magnetic pileup processes.

Water and water ions in the Martian thermosphere/ionosphere [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractFirst results from the Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer instrument on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft reveal density profiles of protonated species that are mostly in good qualitative agreement with recent models of the Martian thermosphere/ionosphere. We present here the first photochemical model in which the

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.

Solar wind modulation of the Martian ionosphere observed by Mars Global Surveyor [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2004 Electron density profiles in the Martian ionosphere observed by the radio occultation experiment on board Mars Global Surveyor have been analyzed to determine if the densities are influenced by the solar wind.

Martian Ionosphere: A Component Due to Solar Protons [PDF]
Science, 1967 The small magnetic field strength observed near Mars by Mariner IV suggests that protons from the solar wind may enter the Martian atmosphere and produce ionization in addition to that produced by ultraviolet light and x-rays. It is found that solar protons produce a thin ionized layer at a rate of the order of 3 × 10 3
