متن کاملResponse of Uranus’ auroras to solar wind compressions at equinox
[1] We consider open flux production and magnetic tail formation for the unique physical circumstances at Uranus, where the planet’s spin axis lies close to the orbit plane, while the magnetic dipole has a large ~60 inclination to the spin axis. Under these circumstances, open flux production and transport into the nightside can in principle occur continuously for near-solstice conditions, lead...
متن کاملSputtering of theMartian atmosphere by solar wind pick-up ions
Monte Carlo models are used to describe the interaction between the incident pick-up ions and the Mars neutral atmosphere. The sputtered population inside the corona and escaping particles are described using a modi4ed 3D test particle model, whereas, the heating e6ect due to the incident 7ux is described using a 2D Direct Simulation Monte Carlo. These results show that the standard 1D models o...

متن کاملThe Venus Ionosphere and Solar Wind Interaction
The current state of knowledge of the chemistry, dynamics and energetics of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Venus is reviewed together with the nature of the solar wind-Venus interaction. Because of the weak, though perhaps not negligible, intrinsic magnetic field of Venus, the mutual effects between these regions are probably strong and unique in the solar system. The ability of the Pio...
