Sensitivity of the Martian Magnetotail to Model Configuration Choices in Multispecies MHD Simulations

Abstract Numerical modeling has been a key component in the study of the Mars space environment, providing a comprehensive global representation that is not always easy to obtain in spacecraft measurements. However, there are inconsistencies in data‐model and model‐model comparis...

Controls on Solar Wind Entry Identified Through Wind–ACE Heavy‐Ion Diagnostics

Abstract Solar wind (SW) entry into the magnetosphere occurs through several mechanisms, but their dependence on the properties of different ion species is unknown. We compare measurements from Wind‐STICS (magnetosphere) with ACE‐SWICS (L1) to test for any preferential entry betw...
