Is Solar Wind electron precipitation a source of neutral heating in the nightside Martian upper atmosphere?
Solar Wind (SW) electron precipitation is able to deposit a substantial amount of energy in the nightside Martian upper atmosphere, potentially exerting an influence on its thermal structure. This study serves as the first investigation of such an issue, with the aid of the simultaneous measurements...
