The construction of VENUS, an Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source designed to operate at 28 GHz, is nearing completion. Tests with the superconducting magnet assembly produced axial magnetic field strengths of 4 T at injection and 3 T at extraction and a sextupole field of 2 T at the ...
A New Estimate of the Strength of the Magnetic Field of the Planet VenusIN some earlier publications 1 , attention was directed to the behaviour of the geomagnetic activity around the dates of lower conjunction of Venus. It appeared that, especially at times of weak solar activity and with ...
The magnetotail-ionosheath interface downstream of Venus hemisphere over which the solar wind motional electric field is outward, however, is very broad and resembles a slow mode expansion fan with field strength slowly decreasing and plasma density gradually increasing as PVO moves outward and enters...
As the spacecraft descended from 150 to 140km altitude, the magnetic field became weaker on average and less noisy. Below 140km, the median field strength became steady but the short period fluctuations continued to weaken. The weakness of the fluctuations indicates they might not be useful for...
With Venus Express magnetic field measurements at 32 Hz from 2006 to 2012, we investigate statistically the magnetic fluctuations in the near-Venusian space. The global spatial distribution of their spectral scaling features is presented in MHD and kinet
When the solar wind pressure is high, especially when it exceeds the peak ionospheric pressure, diffusion and downward transport of magnetic flux can become fast enough to magnetize the Venus ionosphere with a horizontal field of up to ∼150 nT strength. At such times ion-neutral collisions in...
The magnetic field was then determined using a two‐dimensional kinematic dynamo model of the ionosphere of Venus. The magnetic field attains a maximum strength of about 5 nT at a solar zenith angle of about 120°. This magnetic field might act as a "seed" field for magnetic flux ropes ...
Venus stationed in the astrological Earth sign of Capricorn which gives breadth and scope to the areas she shines her light brightest upon. If we take into consideration what we know about Venus so far and the elements of strength (Taurus) and refinement towards balance (Libra) we can use th...
One certainty is that magnetic fields have a strong and complex influence on loss processes. For example, at Earth the ion escape processes are different from those at Venus and Mars due to Earth’s intrinsic magnetic field. The geometry and strength of the field affect both how much of the...
not the beasts that Nature has armed with weapons. I do not value your glory so high as to consent to purchase it by such exposure. Your youth, and the beauty that charms Venus, will not touch the hearts of lions and bristly boars. Think of their terrible claws and prodigious strength...
