Mars Global Surveyor Measurements of the Martian Solar Wind Interaction
The solar wind at Mars interacts with the extended atmosphere and small-scale crustal magnetic fields. This interaction shares elements with a variety of solar system bodies, and has direct bearing on studies of the long-term evolution of the Martian atmosphere, the structure of the upper atmosphere, and fundamental plasma processes. The magnetometer (MAG) and electron reflectometer (ER) on Mar...
متن کاملAspects of solar wind interaction with Mars: comparison of fluid and hybrid simulations
Mars has no global intrinsic magnetic field, and consequently the solar wind plasma interacts directly with the planetary ionosphere. The main factors of this interaction are: thermalization of plasma after the bow shock, ion pick-up process, and the magnetic barrier effect, which results in the magnetic field enhancement in the vicinity of the obstacle. Results of ideal magnetohydrodynamic and...
متن کاملMHD Modeling of the Interaction Between the Solar Wind and Solar System Objects
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models of plasma can be used to model many phenomena in the solar system. In this work we investigate the use of a general MHD solver the Flash code for the simulation of the interaction between the solar wind and solar system objects. As a test case we simulate the three-dimensional solar wind interaction with a simplified model of a comet and describe the modificatio...
متن کاملDisappearing induced magnetosphere at Venus: Implications for close-in exoplanets
[1] The solar wind interaction with a planetary atmosphere produces a magnetosphere-like structure near the planet whether or not the planet has an intrinsic global magnetic field. In the case of planets like Venus or Mars, which have no global intrinsic magnetic field but possess a significant atmosphere, a magnetosphere is induced in the highly conducting ionosphere by the time-varying magnet...
متن کاملMartian ionospheric responses to dynamic pressure enhancements in the solar wind
As a weakly magnetized planet, Mars ionosphere/atmosphere interacts directly with the shocked solar wind plasma flow. Even though many numerical studies have been successful in reproducing numerous features of the interaction process, these earlier studies focused mainly on interaction under steady solar wind conditions. Recent observations suggest that plasma escape fluxes are significantly en...
