Scientific paper

The Phobos 2 Hyperbolic Retarding Potential Analyzer (HARP) has obtained Mars low energy ion fluxes; when combined with the overlapping-energy observations of the TAUS instrument, (1) flowing and shocked/thermalized solar wind ions are found within the magnetosheath and (2) an antisunward-flowing heavy ion population is revealed beneath the magnetic barrier upper boundary. These results are at variance with the anticipated presence of a dense and stagnated planetary ion population, and of additional sharp plasma boundaries.
