Changes in the Martian atmosphere induced by auroral electron precipitation
Gérard, J. -C.; Hubert, B.; Shematovich, V. I. +1 more
Typical auroral events in the Martian atmosphere, such as discrete and diffuse auroral emissions detected by UV spectrometers onboard ESA Mars Express and NASA MAVEN, are investigated. Auroral electron kinetic energy distribution functions and energy spectra of the upward and downward electron fluxes are obtained by electron transport calculations…
Initial analysis of ion fluxes in the magnetotail of Mars based on simultaneous measurements on Mars Express and Maven
Zelenyi, L. M.; Connerney, J. E. P.; Dubinin, E. M. +4 more
Simultaneous operation of two Mars satellites, equipped with instruments for the study of the plasma environment close to Mars, the European satellite Mars Express and American satellite MAVEN, allows one to investigate the influence of the interplanetary environment on the Martian magnetosphere and atmospheric losses, induced by the solar wind, f…
