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

What Is the Altitude of Thermal Equilibrium?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Thermal equilibrium in planetary atmospheres occurs at altitudes where the ion, electron, and neutral temperatures are equal. Thermal equilibrium is postulated to occur in the collision‐dominated ionosphere.

Nightside Ionospheric Structure and Composition on Mars Driven by Energetic Electron Precipitation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Ionospheric chemistry plays an unexpectedly important role in the evolution of planetary habitability. This study is dedicated to a detailed modeling of the nightside Martian ionospheric structure and composition, a topic that has been poorly explored ...

Variability of Draped Interplanetary Magnetic Field in the Subsolar Martian Ionosphere
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In the absence of an intrinsic magnetic field, the solar wind interacts directly with the Martian atmosphere, and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) drapes around the ionosphere. With the aid of multi-instrument measurements from Mars Atmosphere and
