Solar rotation effects on the Martian ionosphere [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2014 AbstractWe present a detailed investigation of the solar rotation effects on the Martian high‐latitude (~63°N–81°N) ionosphere using the electron density (Ne) data measured by Mars Global Surveyor and solar XUV and EUV fluxes measured by SOHO under high (2000–2001), medium (2003), and low (2005) solar activity conditions.

Response of photoelectron peaks in the Martian ionosphere to solar EUV/X-ray irradiance
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020 An important population of the dayside Martian ionosphere are photoelectrons that are produced by solar Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray ionization of atmospheric neutrals.

Review of Venusian and Martian ionospheres
地球与行星物理论评, 2021 The launch of Tianwen 1 marks the brand-new stage of the deep space exploration of China, which calls for the foundation of planetary science education in China. In planetary science, the ionosphere is considered to be the region of an atmosphere where a significant number of free thermal electrons and ions exist.

Variability of the Martian ionosphere from the MAVEN Radio Occultation Science Experiment
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019 The Martian ionosphere is produced by a number of controlling processes, including solar extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV) and X-ray ionization, impact ionization by precipitating electrons, and day-to-night transport.

Interplanetary Magnetic Field Effect on the Location of the Martian Bow Shock: MAVEN Observations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Martian bow shock (BS) is generated with the mass-loading and magnetic pileup processes when the solar wind interacts with the Martian ionosphere. In this vein, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) frozen in the solar wind can affect the location ...

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 ...

Variability of the Martian ionosphere
, 2021 Historically, studying the Martian ionosphere has been difficult due to the lack of dedicated instruments for electron density measurements in the orbit of Mars.

MITM: A new Mars Ionosphere−Thermosphere Model
Earth and Planetary PhysicsIn this study, we present an innovative Mars Ionosphere−Thermosphere Model (MITM), which is a time-dependent, three-dimensional (3-D) model that comprehensively represents the self-consistently coupled thermosphere and ionosphere of Mars within the ...

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2019 Aims: Several scientific landers and rovers have reached the Martian surface since the 1970s. Communication between the asset (i.e., lander or rover) and Mars orbiters or Earth antennas uses radio signals in UHF to X-band frequencies passing through the ...
