Scientific paper

The overall properties of Venus ionospheric tail rays (such as density, spatial extent, and distribution) and their relationship to the draped magnetic field configuration behind the planet were investigated using measurements obtained by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter Langmuir probe, a magnetometer, and a plasma-wave detector. The results suggest that tail rays are a normal feature of the steady solar wind interaction with Venus and are not generally associated with a central tail plasma sheet. The statistics of the tail rays occurrence point toward the existence of a distributed terminator ionosphere source, consistent with findings of Brace et al. (1990).
