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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional magnetic field topology in a region of solar coronal heating.

TL;DR: The observations reveal two magnetic features that characterize young active regions on the Sun: a set of rising magnetic loops and a tangential discontinuity of the magnetic field direction, the latter being the observational signature of an electric current sheet, providing strong support for coronal heating models based on the dissipation of magnetic energy at current sheets.

Retrieval of the full magnetic vector with the He I multiplet at 1083 nm. Maps of an emerging flux region

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique is presented to invert Stokes profiles of the He I 1083 nm multiplet lines in order to obtain the full magnetic vector and the line-of-sight velocity.

Magnetosheath plasma precipitation in the polar cusp and its control by the interplanetary magnetic field

TL;DR: In this paper, magnetosheath particle precipitation in the polar cusp region is studied based on Viking hot plasma data obtained on meridional cusp crossings, where two distinctively different regions are commonly encountered on a typical pass, one region is characterized by high density particle precipitation, with an ion population characterized by a convecting Maxwellian distribution.
