Scientific paper

This paper summarizes the plasma and wave observations carried out in the night sector of Mars with the Phobos 2 plasma wave system (PWS). Embedded in the magnetic field structure of the Martian tail, cold electron enhancements with densities in the range 10-65/cu cm are observed in association with broadband wave activity extending from a few hertz up to several kilohertz; these enhancements appear to have characteristics analogous to enhancements observed at Venus. The ion outflow through the Martian eclipse region is estimated from Langmuir probe measurements to be of the order of 10 to the 25th ions/s.
