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…
Foreshock Ultra-Low Frequency Waves at Mars: Consequence on the Particle Acceleration Mechanisms at the Martian Bow Shock
Nahuel Andrés, Norberto Romanelli, Christian Mazelle +3
Using Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Magnetometer observations, we report the first statistical study of ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves at the Martian foreshock. The analy…
Multi-point Assessment of the Kinematics of Shocks (MAKOS): A Heliophysics Mission Concept Study
Katherine A. Goodrich, Lynn B. Wilson, Steven Schwartz +6
Collisionless shocks are fundamental processes that are ubiquitous in space plasma physics throughout the Heliosphere and most astrophysical environments. Earth's bow shock and int…
A fast bow shock location predictor-estimator from 2D and 3D analytical models: Application to Mars and the MAVEN mission
C. Simon Wedlund, M. Volwerk, A. Beth +5
We present fast algorithms to automatically estimate the statistical position of the bow shock from spacecraft data, using existing analytical two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimens…
Making waves: Mirror Mode structures around Mars observed by the MAVEN spacecraft
Cyril Simon Wedlund, Martin Volwerk, Christian Mazelle +4
We present an in-depth analysis of a time interval when quasi-linear mirror mode structures were detected by magnetic field and plasma measurements as observed by the NASA/Mars Atm…
