Electromagnetic waves observed by Venus Express at periapsis: Detection and analysis techniques

Russell, C. T.; Wei, H. Y.; Zhang, T. L. +3 more

The magnetometer on Venus Express was designed to be able to obtain 128 Hz samples of the magnetic field from two sensors in a gradiometer configuration. This mode is used around periapsis to determine whether the signals reported at low altitudes near 100 Hz, had the properties of electromagnetic waves generated by electric discharges in the Venu…
