• Bursty Ion Escape Fluxes at Mars 

      Dubinin, E.ORCIDiD; Fraenz, M.ORCIDiD; Pätzold, M.ORCIDiD; Tellmann, S.; Woch, J.; McFadden, J.; Zelenyi, L.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2021-04-28)
      Based on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution measurements we have observed cases when the fluxes of oxygen ions escaping the Martian ionosphere exceed their median values by more than a factor of 100. In the Martian ...
    • Impact of Martian Crustal Magnetic Field on the Ion Escape 

      Dubinin, E.ORCIDiD; Fraenz, M.ORCIDiD; Pätzold, M.ORCIDiD; Woch, J.; McFadden, J.; Fan, K.ORCIDiD; Wei, Y.ORCIDiD; Tsareva, O.ORCIDiD; Zelenyi, L.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2020)
      Based on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) observations, we have analyzed the role of the crustal magnetic field on ion loss driven by the direct interaction of the solar wind with the Mars ionosphere. ...
    • Nowcasting and Predicting the Kp Index Using Historical Values and Real-Time Observations 

      Shprits, Yuri Y.ORCIDiD; Vasile, Ruggero; Zhelavskaya, Irina S.ORCIDiD (Space Weather, 2019)
      Current algorithms for the real-time prediction of the Kp index use a combination of models empirically driven by solar wind measurements at the L1 Lagrange point and historical values of the index. In this study, we explore ...

      Grimmich, NiklasORCIDiD; Plaschke, FerdinandORCIDiD; Archer, Martin O.ORCIDiD; Heyner, DanielORCIDiD; Mieth, Johannes Z. D.ORCIDiD; Nakamura, RumiORCIDiD; Sibeck, David G.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2023-08-03)
      Abstract

      To first order, the magnetopause (MP) is defined by a pressure balance between the solar ...

    • The Mini Induced Magnetospheres at Mars 

      Dubinin, E.ORCIDiD; Fraenz, M.ORCIDiD; Pätzold, M.ORCIDiD; Tellmann, S.; DiBraccio, G.ORCIDiD; McFadden, J. (Geophysical Research Letters, 2023-02-08)
      We report on observations made by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN spacecraft at Mars, in the region of the ion plume. We observe that in some cases, when the number density of oxygen ions is comparable to the ...
