Two-stream plasma instability as a potential mechanism for particle escape from the Venusian ionosphere

Ghosh, S.; Chandra, S.; Dey, S. +2 more

In this work we investigate the possibility of two-stream instability in the Venusian atmosphere to lead to momentum transfer to subsequent escape of Hydrogen and Oxygen ions from the ionosphere. We employ the hydrodynamic model and obtain the linear dispersion relation from which the two-stream instability is studied. Further the interaction of s…
