Insight Into

AbstractThe recent intensive study of Comet Halley based on in situ measurements, observations carried out with rockets and satellites and supplemented with co-ordinated Earth based observations has not only confirmed pre-Halley results, but also has given new insight into the nature of the nucleus, dust, gas and the interaction of cometary plasma with the solar wind. These observations also have raised many new questions and problems. Several of these aspects will be discussed. For a better understanding of these problems, the planned future missions to comets will also be discussed.

Loading Effect

<p>The induced magnetotails on Mars and Venus are considered to arise through the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) draping around the planet and the solar wind deceleration due to the mass loading effect. They have very similar structures as that on Earth, two magnetic lobes of opposite radial magnetic fields and a plasma sheet in between. However, the orientation and geometry of the induced magnetotails are controlled by the IMF, not the planetary intrinsic magnetic field. In this study, we present another characteristic of the induced magnetotails on Mars and Venus with the observations of MAVEN and Venus Express. It is found that the magnetic flux in the induced magnetotails on Mars and Venus are inhomogeneous. There is more magnetic flux in the +E hemisphere than -E hemisphere. The magnetic flux is observed to transport gradually from the +E hemisphere to the -E hemisphere along the magnetotail. The magnetotail magnetic flux transport seems to be faster on Mars than that at Venus. Based on these observations, we suggest that the finite gyro-radius effect of the planetary ions that are picked up by the solar wind is responsible to the magnetic flux inhomogeneity and transport in the induced magnetotails. The role of the magnetic pressure gradient in the magnetotail will be discussed.</p>
