Coronal mass ejections and their sheath regions in interplanetary space
E Kilpua, HEJ Koskinen, TI Pulkkinen - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2017 - Springer
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are large-scale heliospheric transients that
originate from the Sun. When an ICME is sufficiently faster than the preceding solar wind, a …

Atmospheric escape processes and planetary atmospheric evolution
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 …

The spatial distribution of planetary ion fluxes near Mars observed by MAVEN
We present the results of an initial effort to statistically map the fluxes of planetary ions on a
closed surface around Mars. Choosing a spherical shell~ 1000 km above the planet, we …

Characterizing atmospheric escape from Mars today and through time, with MAVEN
Two of the primary goals of the MAVEN mission are to determine how the rate of escape of
Martian atmospheric gas to space at the current epoch depends upon solar influences and …
