3 maj 2021 · Venus' magnetosphere is not generated by the planet, but by the interaction of the Sun's solar wind with its ionosphere. Solar Orbiter found that this magnetosphere extends far behind the planet and accelerates particles to high speeds, despite its instability and diversity.
18 lip 2024 · By using electron pitch angle-energy measurements, we report a type of closed magnetic field at Venus whose formation is likely a result of magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail.
15 gru 2022 · During its 2-h flyby of Venus on the 10th of August 2021, the dual-spacecraft BepiColombo mission 15 passed through the Venusian magnetosheath from the nightside down to the almost unexplored...
28 wrz 2022 · The sun-observing spacecraft makes regular flybys of Venus, measuring the planet's induced magnetic field and ion composition. The data could help understand how the solar wind affects Venus' atmosphere and compare it with Earth's.
27 wrz 2021 · We demonstrate through a few case studies that various types of magnetic topologies exist at Venus, including typical draped IMF, open magnetic fields connected to the nightside atmosphere or the dayside ionosphere, and unexpected cross-terminator closed field lines.
10 maj 2020 · In this study, we examine the formation and evolution of the large-scale magnetic field in the Venus ionosphere using a sophisticated global model. A time-dependent model run is performed under varying solar wind dynamic pressure (density).
Identification of the Venusian-induced magnetosphere. From top to the bottom, the panels show the magnetic magnitude (| B |), the three magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) in VSO coordinates, the ion energy spectra, the electron energy spectra, the altitude, and the solar zenith angle (SZA).
