The Dayside Ionopause of Mars: Solar Wind Interaction, Pressure Balance, and Comparisons with Venus
F. Chu, Z. Girazian, F. Duru +5
Due to the lower ionospheric thermal pressure and existence of the crustal magnetism at Mars, the Martian ionopause is expected to behave differently from the ionopause at Venus. W…
Electrostatic Waves and Electron Heating Observed over Lunar Crustal Magnetic Anomalies
F. Chu, J. S. Halekas, Xin Cao +3
Above lunar crustal magnetic anomalies, large fractions of solar wind electrons and ions can be scattered and stream back towards the solar wind flow, leading to a number of intere…
Mars' plasma system. Scientific potential of coordinated multi-point missions: "The next generation" (A White Paper submitted to ESA's Voyage 2050 Call)
Beatriz Sánchez-Cano, Mark Lester, David J. Andrews +27
The objective of this White Paper submitted to ESA's Voyage 2050 call is to get a more holistic knowledge of the dynamics of the Martian plasma system from its surface up to the un…
Variations in the Ionospheric Peak Altitude at Mars in Response to Dust Storms: 13 Years of Observations from the Mars Express Radar Sounder
Z. Girazian, Z. Luppen, D. D. Morgan +7
Previous observations have shown that, during Martian dust storms, the peak of the ionosphere rises in altitude. Observational studies of this type, however, have been extremely li…
The Effects of Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure on the Structure of the Topside Ionosphere of Mars
Z. Girazian, J. Halekas, D. D. Morgan +3
We use Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN observations of the upstream solar wind, and Mars Express observations of ionospheric electron densities and magnetic fields, to study…
The effects of crustal magnetic fields and solar EUV flux on ionopause formation at Mars
F. Chu, Z. Girazian, D. A. Gurnett +5
We study the ionopause of Mars using a database of 6,893 ionopause detections obtained over 11 years by the MARSIS (Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding) expe…
