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…
Solar wind interaction with comet 67P: impacts of corotating interaction regions
Niklas J. T. Edberg, A. I. Eriksson, E. Odelstad +18
We present observations from the Rosetta Plasma Consortium of the effects of stormy solar wind on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Four corotating interaction regions (CIRs), where…
Mass-loading of the solar wind at 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko -- Observations and modelling
E. Behar, J. Lindkvist, H. Nilsson +4
Context. The first long-term in-situ observation of the plasma environment in the vicinity of a comet, as provided by the European Rosetta spacecraft. Aims. Here we offer character…
Plasma observations during the Mars atmospheric "plume" event of March-April 2012
D. J. Andrews, S. Barabash, N. J. T. Edberg +10
We present initial analysis and conclusions from plasma observations made during the reported "Mars plume event" of March - April 2012. During this period, multiple independent ama…
