Abstract The Radio Occultation Science Experiment (ROSE) is part of the scientific payload
of the Mars Atmosphere Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft. Here we motivate the …

This study assesses under what circumstances the Martian ionopause is formed on the
dayside, both in regions where there are strong crustal magnetic fields and areas where …

The Martian ionosphere plays a crucial role in driving the interactions of the planet with solar
photons and solar wind particles. The variations of the dayside Martian ionosphere with …

Ion escape from the atmosphere to space is one of the most likely reasons to account for the
evolution of the Martian climate. Based on three-dimensional multifluid …

Different boundaries could be defined in a planetary ionosphere where the dominant
process in function switches from one to the other. Identifying these boundaries and …

Abstract Mars Express and Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) observations
have demonstrated the influence of Mars's spatially variable crustal magnetic fields upon the …

The effect of the Martian crustal magnetic field on ion escape is the focus of considerable
interest. Directions of magnetic fields near Mars determined by the interaction between Mars' …

Disturbed solar wind dynamic pressure is one of the important external drivers which could
cause significant impacts on Martian plasma environment. In this study, a 3D multifluid …

The neutral heating efficiency is commonly defined as the fraction of the solar extreme
ultraviolet and X-ray energy absorbed by a planetary atmosphere that ends up as local heat …

Abstract We use Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN observations of the upstream
solar wind, and Mars Express observations of ionospheric electron densities and magnetic …
