Statistical Mapping of Magnetic Topology at Venus

Persson, Moa; Xu, Shaosui; Frahm, Rudy A. +3 more

Despite Venus having insignificant intrinsic magnetic fields, the magnetic connectivity between the solar wind and the Venus ionosphere, or magnetic topology, is not as simple as expected and is also important for characterizing the Venus space environment. This study provides a technique combining superthermal electron energy and pitch angle dist…
