The magnetic field of Mars estimated from the data of plasma measurements by Soviet artificial satellites of Mars
The dimensions of the obstacle forming the shock wave of Mars are estimated by use of electron trap data from Mars 2, 3, and 5. The mean altitude of the obstacle at the subsolar point can be convincingly explained if the obstacle is the magnetosphere of Mars. On the assumption that Mars has its own dipole magnetic field, the magnetic moment of Mars is estimated, Mm approximately equal to 2 x 10 to the twenty second power gs x cubic cu

Magnetic field and plasma inside and outside of the Martian magnetosphere
Simultaneous magnetic and plasma measurements, carried out by wide angle plasma detectors in the Mars environment, are compared in order to identify regions with significantly different physical properties. Magnetograms and ion spectra indicate changes in the magnetopause and magnetosphere of Mars that are associated with the dynamic pressure effect of the solar wind
High energy neutrino yields from astrophysical sources II: Magnetized sources
We calculate the yield of high energy neutrinos produced in astrophysical
sources for arbitrary interaction depths and magnetic field strengths
. We take into account energy loss processes like synchrotron radiation and
diffusion of charged particles in turbulent magnetic fields as well as the
scattering of secondaries on background photons and the direct production of
charm neutrinos. Meson-photon interactions are simulated with an extended
version of the SOPHIA model. Diffusion leads to an increased path-length before
protons leave the source of size R_s and therefore magnetized sources lose
their transparency below the energy , with and 1 for Kolmogorov and
Bohm diffusion, respectively. Moreover, the neutrino flux is suppressed above
the energy where synchrotron energy losses become important for charged
particles. As a consequence, the energy spectrum and the flavor composition of
neutrinos are strongly modified both at low and high energies even for sources
with \tau_0\lsim 1.Comment: 15 pages, 16 figure
The Venus ionosphere
Physical properties of the Venus ionosphere obtained by experiments on the US Pioneer Venus and the Soviet Venera missions are presented in the form of models suitable for inclusion in the Venus International Reference Atmosphere. The models comprise electron density (from 120 km), electron and ion temperatures, and relative ion abundance in the altitude range from 150 km to 1000 km for solar zenith angles from 0[deg] to 180[deg]. In addition, information on ion transport velocities, ionopause altitudes, and magnetic field characteristics of the Venus ionosphere, are presented in tabular or graphical form. Also discussed is the solar control of the physical properties of the Venus ionosphere.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/25872/1/0000435.pd
