Scientific paper

A total of 120 Phobos 2 Martian bow shock crossings, including four new distant-downstream shocks, are presently used as the basis of a bow shock model. Comparisons are made with the results of earlier studies derived from the smaller data sets of other missions. While the location of the Martian bow shock appears to respond to variations in solar activity, as in the case of Venus, the subsolar and standoff distance varies only slightly with solar wind dynamic pressure. The shock is noted to be closer to Mars on the dawn side than on the dusk side at the terminator.
