Solar Wind-Induced Atmospheric Erosion at Mars: First Results from ASPERA-3 on Mars Express

TL;DR: The Analyzer of Space Plasma and Energetic Atoms (ASPERA) on board the Mars Express spacecraft found that solar wind plasma and accelerated ionospheric ions may be observed all the way down to theMars Express pericenter of 270 kilometers above the dayside planetary surface, implying direct exposure of the martian topside atmosphere toSolar wind plasma forcing.

Mars Express and Venus Express multi-point observations of geoeffective solar flare events in December 2006

TL;DR: In this article, a single active region produced a series of proton solar flares, with X-ray class up to the X9.0 level, starting on 5 December 2006 at 10:35 UTC, and associated MeV particles were observed at Venus and Mars by Venus Express (VEX) and Mars Express (MEX).
