Scientific paper

The properties of the plasma environments close to the dayside obstacle boundary of nonmagnetic planets with ionospheres are compared to study the effects of turbulent wave-particle processes. Data are examined from Pioneer-Venus, Phobos-2, and Giotto/Vega data regarding Venus, Mars, and Comet P/Halley, respectively. The equivalent of the MHD obstacle boundary on the dayside is investigated with attention given to the wave-particle processes. A magnetic cavity is found to exist in observations and theory within the magnetosphere where the solar-wind magnetic field does not penetrate. The ionosphere penetrates the boundary, and a region is defined where the solar wind and the planetary/cometary plasma overlap. The region is called a mantle region in which: (1) the solar wind decelerates and the magnetic field piles up; (2) two counterstreaming ion populations exist; and (3) solar wind and body ions interact via wave-particle interaction.
