Scientific paper

We have calculated the proton and the oxygen velocities in the nightside magnetosheath of Mars utilizing the particle observations made by ASPERA onboard the Phobos 2 spacecraft. The O(+) observations can be divided into three classes according to the velocities and locations: the 'central tail', the 'energetic', and the 'slowly moving' O(+) ions. A detailed study of the energetic O(+) ions shows that they are related to non-typical magnetic field conditions.
