Detection of magnetospheric ion drift patterns at Mars

Detection of magnetospheric ion drift patterns at Mars

Abstract Mars lacks a global magnetic field, and instead possesses small-scale crustal magnetic fields, making its magnetic environment fundamentally different from intrinsic magnetospheres like those of Earth or Saturn. Here we report the discovery of magnetospheric ion drift patterns, typical of i...
