MAVEN‐STATIC Observations of Ion Temperature and Initial Ion Acceleration in the Martian Ionosphere

Abstract Though ion escape to space is an important mechanism for atmospheric loss at Mars, the processes that accelerate ions to escape velocity have not been fully identified and quantified. The lowest altitude where suprathermal planetary ions appear is an important source region for ion escape,...
