Upper atmospheres and ionospheres of planets and satellites

open access: yes, 2017
The upper atmospheres of the planets and their satellites are more directly exposed to sunlight and solar wind particles than the surface or the deeper atmospheric layers.

Dusty plasma in space [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 1998
Dusty plasmas consist of electrons, ions and charged dust particles observed in several astro-and space-physical environments such as nebulas, cometary tails, planetary rings, and planetary ionospheres.

Martian Crustal Magnetic Field Effects on the Ionospheric Main Peak

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Planetary magnetic fields can affect ionospheric plasma transport and coupling with the solar wind. In contrast to the terrestrial global magnetic field, there are only weaker and sporadic crustal magnetic fields on Mars. Many studies have indicated that

Merton Davies (1917-2001) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Merton Davies passed away unexpectedly in April at age 83 due to complications from surgery. He will be remembered for establishing the prime meridian for essentially every solid planet in the solar system with the exception of Earth and Pluto.

Experimental Study of the Response of Sheared E × B Flow to Varying Ion–Neutral Collisions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Partially ionized plasma is a common occurrence in astrophysical and space environments. The emergence and development of plasma instabilities are significantly impacted by the inelastic collisions between the ions and neutrals in the partially ionized ...

Observation of CO2++ dication in the dayside Martian upper atmosphere

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2020
Doubly charged positive ions (dications) are an important component of planetary ionospheres because of the large energy required for their formation.

Current Events at Saturn: Ring–Planet Electromagnetic Coupling

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
This study presents a synthesized analysis of in situ and ground-based observations to investigate electromagnetic coupling between Saturn and its rings. During the Cassini Grand Finale, the magnetometer detected gradients in the azimuthal magnetic field

Derivation of a planetary ionospheric storm index [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2008
Abstract. The planetary ionospheric storm index, Wp, is deduced from the numerical global ionospheric GPS-IONEX maps of the vertical total electron content, TEC, for more than half a solar cycle, 1999–2008. The TEC values are extracted from the 600 grid points of the map at latitudes 60° N to 60° S with a step of 5° and longitudes 0° to 345° E with a ...

Ambipolar Electric Field, Photoelectrons, and their Role in Atmospheric Escape From Hot-jupiters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Atmospheric mass-loss from Hot-jupiters can be large due to the close proximity of these planets to their host star and the strong radiation the planetary atmosphere receives.
