Scientific paper

Results from three-dimensional hybrid particle simulations of the solar wind interaction with the planets Mars and Venus are presented. The simulations produce shocks and magnetic barriers which are asymmetric. These results are qualitatively in agreement with data. In the absence of an ionosphere the subsolar shock standoff distance was found to agree with the observations if the Hall current is limited. It was also found that the solar wind interaction with Mars and Venus was substantially different. The interaction with Venus can be generally viewed as a magnetized interaction. The Mars interaction is very kinetic in nature and appears not to have a shock in the classic sense.
