The MAVEN spacecraft launched in November 2013, arrived at Mars in September 2014,
and completed commissioning and began its one-Earth-year primary science mission in …

The MAVEN magnetic field investigation is part of a comprehensive particles and fields
subsystem that will measure the magnetic and electric fields and plasma environment of …

Abstract The Solar Wind Ion Analyzer (SWIA) on the MAVEN mission will measure the solar
wind ion flows around Mars, both in the upstream solar wind and in the magneto-sheath and …

Coupling between the lower and upper atmosphere, combined with loss of gas from the
upper atmosphere to space, likely contributed to the thin, cold, dry atmosphere of modern …

The habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its
interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars drive …

This article summarizes and aims at comparing the main features of the induced
magnetospheres of Mars, Venus and Titan. All three objects form a well-defined induced …

Measurements provided by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN)
spacecraft are analyzed to investigate the Martian magnetotail configuration as a function of …

Both heliophysics and planetary physics seek to understand the complex nature of the solar
wind's interaction with solar system obstacles like Earth's magnetosphere, the ionospheres …

The Martian magnetotail exhibits a highly twisted configuration, shifting in response to
changes in polarity of the interplanetary magnetic field's (IMF) dawn‐dusk (BY) component …

Intrinsic magnetic fields have long been thought to shield planets from atmospheric erosion
via stellar winds; however, the influence of the plasma environment on atmospheric escape …
