Magnetograms obtained by Mars-2 and -3 have revealed the presence of a shock front, a turbulent field region, and a regular field region, in which the magnetic field intensity increases with decreasing distance from the pericenter. These observations were subsequently confirmed by data from Mars...
Unmagnetized bodies with sufficiently dense ionospheres, such as Mars and Venus, can be considered as conductors immersed in the moving solar wind plasma with velocityV0carrying the frozen-in IMFB0. In the frame of reference of the conductor, the electromagnetic field comprises two components:B0a...
How did Mars lose its magnetic field? How does Earth's magnetosphere work? How did the magnetosphere form? Did Mars lose its magnetic force? Does Mars have a magnetosphere? How strong is Mars's magnetosphere? How does plasma enter the magnetosphere?

(EM) interaction induces large-scale currents and forms magnetic cavities around magnetized planets. These cavities are called magnetospheres. Except for Mars and Venus, which do not have intrinsic magnetic fields, the planets in our solar system all have magnetospheres. This article will focus on...
Induced magnetospheres form around conductive non-magnetized planetary objects (such as the ionospheres of Mars, Venus, Titan, Pluto and comets) in the electrodynamic interaction with a magnetized flowing plasma, such as the solar wind. The resulting induced currents couple the ionosphere and the de...

This region of dominating magnetic field is commonly called Earth's magnetosphere. All other planets (except Mars and Venus) have their magnetosphere in Earth's solar system. However, among all the rocky planets, Earth has the strongest magnetosphere. An example of Earth's magnetosphere helps to...
Although main structures arising from the interaction between the solar wind (SW) and the induced magnetosphere of Mars can be described using a steady state picture, time‐dependent physical processes modify the response of this obstacle. These processes result from temporal variabilities in the ...
Electrons with energy of ∼40–80 eV measured by the instrument ASPERA-3 on Mars Express and MAG-ER onboard Mars Global Surveyor are used to trace an access of solar wind electrons into the Martian magnetosphere. Crustal magnetic fields create an additional protection from solar wind plasma ...
