Widespread plasma jets in the Martian magnetosheath revealed by dual-spacecraft observations

Abigail Tadlock, Chuanfei Dong, Chi Zhang +4

Plasma jets in planetary magnetosheaths are transient, high dynamic pressure structures capable of strongly perturbing downstream magnetospheres and modulating solar wind energy tr…

Simultaneous Mars-orbit observations reveal Kelvin-Helmholtz instability-driven bulk atmospheric ion escape

Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Gangkai Poh +11

Atmospheric ion escape driven by the solar wind is a key process controlling the long-term loss of the Martian atmosphere. Localized plasma clouds can carry substantial fluxes of p…
