Properties of Mars' Dayside Low-Altitude Induced Magnetic Field and Comparisons with Venus
Susanne Byrd, Zachary Girazian
Our research objective is to characterize Mars' low-altitude (250 km) induced magnetic fields using data from NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) Mission. We aim…
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…
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…
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…
Seasonal, Solar Zenith Angle, and Solar Flux Variations of O in the Topside Ionosphere of Mars
Zachary Girazian, Paul Mahaffy, Yuni Lee +1
Using observations from MAVEN's Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS), we characterize the seasonal, solar zenith angle (SZA), and solar flux dependent variations of the O$…
Mars Thermospheric Variability Revealed by MAVEN EUVM Solar Occultations: Structure at Aphelion and Perihelion, and Response to EUV Forcing
E. M. B. Thiemann, F. G. Eparvier, S. W. Bougher +6
The Mars thermosphere holds clues to the evolution of the Martian climate, and has practical implications for spacecraft visiting Mars, which often use it for aerobraking upon arri…
