We study the hemispheric asymmetries of the Venusian plasma environment and induced magnetosphere caused by the flow-aligned component (Bx) of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The Venusian induced magnetosphere is formed by piling up of the IMF against the highly conducting ionosphere. Venus is located in the inner Solar System in a region where Bx typically dominates the IMF. The non-zero Bx gives rise to, for example, perpendicular and parallel bow shock regions in hemispheres perpendicular to the convection electric field. We use the HYB-Venus hybrid simulation to study plasma properties around the planet in two cases: 1) the zero IMF Bx case and 2) the nominal case where the IMF Bx is the dominant component. Further, we study the morphology of the magnetic field around Venus in both cases.
