Scientific paper

Photoionization rates are computed for the ionospheres of Mars and Venus using Hinteregger solar fluxes, photoionization and photoabsorption cross sections, and neutral atmospheric models. Good agreement is obtained between the observed Ne(h) profiles below 180 km for Te=Tg, indicating the existence of thermal balance between electron and neutral gases at this height. For both ionospheres, there is an excellent agreement between the observed and computed ion density profiles below 200 km.
