Doubly-charged ions in the planetary ionospheres: a review
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2011This paper presents a review of the current knowledge on the doubly-charged atomic and molecular positive ions in the planetary atmospheres of the Solar System. It is focused on the terrestrial planets which have a dense atmosphere of N(2) or CO(2), i.e.

Electric currents in E-like planetary ionospheres
Planetary and Space Science, 1990In this paper an MHD approach is used to consider the conduction of electric current in a lightly ionized gas, taking into account the gradients of pressure in the ion and electron gases, in addition to the electric field. The coefficients of electrical conductivity are found for each driver of current.

Viscous Forces in Velocity Boundary Layers around Planetary Ionospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 A discussion is presented to examine the role of viscous forces in the transport of solar wind momentum to the ionospheric plasma of weakly magnetized planets (Venus and Mars). Observational data are used to make a comparison of the Reynolds and Maxwell stresses that are operative in the interaction of the solar wind with local plasma (planetary ...

Dissociative Recombination in Planetary Ionospheres
1993Ionization in planetary atmospheres can be produced by solar photoionization, photoelectron impact ionization, and, in auroral regions, by impact of precipitating particles. This ionization is lost mainly in dissociative recombination (DR) of molecular ions.

Models of Planetary Ionospheres
1973The distribution of charged particles (electrons and ions) in a planetary ionosphere is governed by the equation of continuity $$\frac{{\partial N}}{{\partial t}} = q - L(N) - \nabla \cdot (Nv)$$ (6-1) A steady state situation (∂N/∂t = 0) can often be assumed, except near sunrise and sunset or during other rapidly varying situations such as a

Thermal Structure of Planetary Ionospheres
1973Electrons released in the photoionization process due to the absorption of solar XUV radiation in planetary atmospheres may have initially kinetic energies of one to 100 eV. The energy E of photoelectrons resulting from photons of energy h v interacting with an atmospheric constituent whose ionization potential is IP is given by $$E = hv - IP ...

Current Systems in Planetary Magnetospheres and Ionospheres
Space Science Reviews, 2010The interaction of planets with the solar wind produces a diversity of current systems, yet these can be classified into only a few different types, which include ionospheric currents, currents carried by magnetospheric boundaries like the magnetopause or ionopause, magnetotail currents, and currents flowing inside the magnetospheres, like ring ...

Observed Properties of Planetary Ionospheres
1973Information on the ionosphere of Earth has accumulated for the past four decades. Originally, electron density was the only primary quantity observable by groundbased radio techniques. During the last two decades information on other physical parameters of the ionosphere, such as charged particle temperature (T e , T i and ion composition (m i ), as ...
