Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Modeling the Martian Induced Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the magnetic field environment around Mars and its response to upstream solar wind conditions provide key insights into the processes driving atmospheric ion escape. To date, global models of Martian induced magnetosphere have been exclusively physics‐based, relying on computationally intensive simulations. For the first time, we

Observations of a Mini‐Magnetosphere Above the Martian Crustal Magnetic Fields

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Mars is typically regarded as a non‐magnetic planet. Currents in the Martian ionosphere generate a Venus‐like induced magnetosphere which deflects the solar wind flows and piles up the interplanetary magnetic fields.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Propagation of electromagnetic waves through the Martian ionosphere

, 1999
International audienceThis paper is related to the study of ELF-VLF wave propagation through the Martian ionosphere using a WKB method. It is expected that waves coming from the atmosphere could be observed by a probe in orbit around Mars ...

Terrestrial Space Weather Protection Through Human‐Produced Mass‐Loading

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While humans become more reliant on Earth's space environment, the potential for significant harm from severe space weather continues to grow. As structures from the sun reach Earth's magnetosphere and space environment, they deposit energy that fuels geomagnetic storms.

MAVEN Observations of Whistler-mode Waves Within the Magnetic Dips in the Martian Ionopause/Ionosphere

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Whistler-mode waves are natural and common electromagnetic emissions observed both surrounding planets and their moons with and without intrinsic magnetic field.

Reinvestigating the Nightside Ionosphere of Mars With 8 Years of Mars Express and MAVEN Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Tailward ion escape in the nightside magnetotail is one of the dominant paths of ion escape from Mars. The Martian nightside ionosphere can serve as a major reservoir for this escape channel, but its global distributions and dependence on the upstream solar wind have not been fully investigated due to observational limitations.

Planned observations of thermal plasma drifts and solar wind interactions in the Martian ionosphere

, 1997
The structure and dynamics of the Martian ionosphere are believed to be strongly dependent on the nature, magnitude, and topology of its magnetic field, and whether or not Mars has an intrinsic magnetic field.

Martian Proton Albedo as Signature of Near‐Surface Water

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the Martian soil water budget is crucial not only for in situ resource utilization in future human missions to Mars, but also for reconstructing the geological and climatic history of the planet, as well as to assess the potential of ancient or even present microbial life.

Thermal structure and dynamics of the Martian upper atmosphere at solar minimum from global circulation model simulations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2007
Simulations of the Martian upper atmosphere have been produced from a self-consistent three-dimensional numerical model of the Martian thermosphere and ionosphere, called MarTIM.
