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.

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 Metallic Fe+ Distributions in the Martian Ionosphere [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters
Metallic 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.

Spatial Scales of Electron Density Fluctuations in the Martian Ionosphere

The Astrophysical Journal
In recent Martian ionospheric studies, the spatial scales of electron density irregularities have been computed using magnetic field measurements by treating these fluctuations as electromagnetic.

Influence of the Martian crustal magnetic fields on the Mars-solar wind interaction and plasma transport

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
The plasma transport process is important for the ionosphere of Mars, which controls the structure of the ionosphere above an altitude of 200 km. Plasma transport from the dayside ionosphere is crucial for producing the nightside ionosphere on Mars.

Tidal Effects on the Longitudinal Structures of the Martian Thermosphere and Topside Ionosphere Observed by MAVEN. [PDF]

J Geophys Res Space Phys, 2020
Longitudinal structures in the Martian thermosphere and topside ionosphere between 150 and 200 km altitudes are studied using in situ electron and neutral measurements from the NASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission.

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.

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.
