Solar Orbiter Data-Model Comparison in Venus' Induced Magnetotail

Jarvinen, Riku; Kallio, Esa; Edberg, Niklas J. T. +5 more

We investigate the structure of the Venusian magnetotail utilizing magnetic field and electron density measurements that cover a wide range of distances from the planet, from the first two Solar Orbiter Venus flybys. We examine the magnetic field components along the spacecraft trajectory up to 80 Venus radii down the tail. Even though the magneti…
