Zusammenfassung |
The magnetotail of the induced magnetosphere of Venus is investigated through
the magnetic field and plasma data of Venus Express. A comparison is made
between two neutral sheet crossings. One crossing shows the magnetic field is
rather quiet and the plasma instrument indicates a change from energetic (few
100 eV) to low energy (few 10 eV) ions. The other crossing shows more
dynamics in the magnetic field, including signatures that are interpreted as
characteristic of a reconnection site, and the plasma instrument indicates
ions that are energized to 1500 to 2000 eV, in the same magnetospheric region
where in the first crossing only low energy ions showed up. |
