The spatial distribution of planetary ion fluxes near Mars observed by MAVEN
We present the results of an initial effort to statistically map the fluxes of planetary ions on a
closed surface around Mars. Choosing a spherical shell~ 1000 km above the planet, we …

The Martian atmospheric ion escape rate dependence on solar wind and solar EUV conditions: 1. Seven years of Mars Express observations
More than 7 years of ion flux measurements in the energy range 10 eV–15 keV have
allowed the ASPERA‐3/IMA (Analyzer of Space Plasmas and Energetic Ions/Ion Mass …

Heavy ion escape from Mars, influence from solar wind conditions and crustal magnetic fields
We have used more than 4years of Mars Express ion data to estimate the escape of heavy
ions (O+, O2+ and CO2+) from Mars. To take the limited field of view of the instrument into …

Mars‐ward ion flows in the martian magnetotail: Mars express observations
We investigate Mars‐ward planetary ions (O+ and O2+) in the Martian magnetotail that
potentially reduce the amount of escaping ions. The global properties of Mars‐ward flows in …

Global Mars‐solar wind coupling and ion escape
Loss of the early Martian atmosphere is often thought to have occurred due to an effective
transfer of the solar wind energy through the Martian induced magnetic barrier to the …
