Deep-Learning Identification and Global Characterization of Energetic O2+ Beams at Mars
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Kathleen G. Hanley +11
Martian ionospheric ions can be accelerated away from Mars by the solar wind, contributing substantially to atmospheric ion escape. Here, we develop a U-Net-based image segmentatio…
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…
Direct Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Wind Current Sheets near Mars
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Xinmin Li +10
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and ubiquitous process in astrophysical plasmas that converts magnetic energy into plasma kinetic and thermal energy. Throughout the heliosph…
Mars as an Exoplanet: Lessons from a Planet at the Edge of Habitability
Stephen R. Kane, Paul K. Byrne, Skylar D'Angiolillo +5
Mars is the Solar System's canonical small, rocky planet that transitioned from early geologic activity and surface liquid water to a cold and arid planet with a thin, cold, CO…
The Exospace Weather Frontier
R. O. Parke Loyd, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, Joseph Lazio +26
Space weather is among the most powerful and least understood forces shaping planetary atmospheres. In our Solar System, we observe its effects directly: atmospheric escape, chemic…
