Scientific paper

The solar wind flow past Venus is modeled numerically with allowance for the loading of the flow by heavy ions produced in the photoionization of the neutral oxygen corona of Venus. It is shown that this effect can explain a number of features characterizing the interaction between the solar wind and Venus: i.e., the location of the bow shock, and the characteristics of the solar-wind flow and the magnetic field beyond the front. The analysis is based on Pioneer-Venus data.
