Scientific paper
An overview of data concerning the mantle and planetosphere regions of Mars and Venus is presented, emphasizing data from the Phobos 2 mission. It is shown that there are significant similarities between the mantle/planetosphere regions on the two planets. These similarities include a transition region between the magnetosheath and the ionosphere dominated by heavy, planetary ions, and a transition region in which the electron population is different from both the shock solar wind and the photoelectron populations. Also, on both planets, a magnetic signature near the transition boundary and the presence of low frequency electric waves within the transition region are observed.
