Scientific paper

The existence of an intrinsic magnetic field at Mars is still a subject of debate. The ionospheric thermal pressure above 300 km is insufficient by itself to withstand the solar wind dynamic pressure, suggesting the presence of a magnetic field in the ionosphere of Mars which can either be a weak intrinsic magnetic field or an induced magnetic field driven by the solar wind interaction with Mars. The photodynamical model of Mahajan and Mayr (1990) for the case of a magnetic field induced by the solar wind plus ion loss via horizontal convection has been studied. It has been found that the induced magnetic field does not affect or alter the photodynamical nature of the ionosphere of Mars.
