Detection of magnetospheric ion drift patterns at Mars
Chi Zhang, Hans Nilsson, Yusuke Ebihara +20
Mars lacks a global magnetic field, and instead possesses small-scale crustal magnetic fields, making its magnetic environment fundamentally different from intrinsic magnetospheres…
Menura: a code for simulating the interaction between a turbulent solar wind and solar system bodies
Etienne Behar, Shahab Fatemi, Pierre Henri +1
Despite the close relationship between planetary science and plasma physics, few advanced numerical tools allow to bridge the two topics. The code Menura proposes a breakthrough to…
Solar XUV and ENA-driven water loss from early Venus' steam atmosphere
H. I. M. Lichtenegger, K. G. Kislyakova, P. Odert +8
The influence of the hydrogen hydrodynamic upper atmosphere escape, driven by the solar soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation (XUV) flux, on an expected magma ocean outgasse…
Three-Dimensional Modeling of Callisto's Surface Sputtered Exosphere Environment
Audrey Vorburger, Martin Pfleger, Jesper Lindkvist +6
We study the release of various elements from Callisto's surface into its exosphere by plasma sputtering. The cold Jovian plasma is simulated with a 3D plasma-planetary interaction…
Stellar wind induced soft X-ray emission from close-in exoplanets
K. G. Kislyakova, L. Fossati, C. P. Johnstone +3
In this paper, we estimate the X-ray emission from close-in exoplanets. We show that the Solar/Stellar Wind Charge Exchange Mechanism (SWCX) which produces soft X-ray emission is v…
XUV exposed, non-hydrostatic hydrogen-rich upper atmospheres of terrestrial planets II: Hydrogen coronae and ion escape
K. G. Kislyakova, H. Lammer, M. Holmström +8
We study the interactions between the stellar wind plasma flow of a typical M star, such as GJ 436, and hydrogen-rich upper atmospheres of an Earth-like planet and a "super-Earth"…
The Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA) Experiment Aboard Chandrayaan-1 Mission: Instrument and Observations
Anil Bhardwaj, Martim Wieser, M. B. Dhanya +7
SARA experiment aboard the first Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 had the objective to explore the solar wind-lunar interaction using energetic neutral atoms (ENA) from the lunar…
First observation of a mini-magnetosphere above a lunar magnetic anomaly using energetic neutral atoms
Martin Wieser, Stas Barabash, Yoshifumi Futaana +7
The Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA) instrument on the Indian Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft has produced for the first time an image of a lunar magnetic anomaly in backscattered…
