The paper reports on an analysis of magnetic field observations by the Mariner 10 spacecraft during approximately a one-day period ending a few hours beyond Venus encounter on February 5, 1974. The magnetic field measurements are used to study the downstream region of the solar wind-Venus interaction over a distance of about 100 Venus radii. The study characterizes the various magnetic field regions encountered behind and near the planet; presents an argument that the magnetic field signatures observed are consistent with observation of either a steady or a transient wake, or at least the boundary region of such a wake, interior to a common sheath-like region; examines in detail the fluctuation and discontinuity features of these regions and compares them with those of the interplanetary medium; and summarizes how these new features contribute to the understanding of the solar wind-Venus interaction.
