The estimate of the Venus magnetotail length
Popov, V. Yu.; Zelenyi, L. M.; Vasko, I. Yu.
We consider the process of flux tubes straightening in the Venus magnetotail on the basis of MHD model. We estimate the distance x t, where flux tubes are fully straightened due to the magnetic tension and the magnetotail with the characteristic geometry of field lines ("slingshot" geometry) ends. We investigate the influence of the tra…
