Venus Ionosphere: Magnetic Fields
Scientific paper
The authors have performed a qualitative analysis of nonstationary convection of plasma and magnetic field in the dayside ionosphere of Venus. On the basis of the pattern of plasma convection, they have compared various hypotheses for the formation and evolution of the large-scale field and braided field lines in the ionosphere. They show that the observed large-scale field or magnetic belt in the dayside ionosphere of Venus is the result of evolution of the solar wind magnetic field which has been forced deep into the ionosphere. The upper boundary of the magetic belt occurs in the vicinity of the upper boundary of the region of photochemical equilibrium. Taking into consideration the plasma convection, as well as the results of investigations of the stability of the ionopause of Venus, they conclude the following: the most probable source of magnetic braidings in the lower ionosphere of Venus is the disruption of interplanetary magnetic field which has been forced deep into the ionosphere by the large dynamical pressure of the solar wind.
