Solar Wind-Driven O* Ion Escape at Mars

This study investigates solar wind interaction with Mars' upper atmosphere and its impact on ion escape dynamics using coordinated observations from NASA's MAVEN mission and simulations from the EUHFORIA model. The study provides quantitative constraints on solar wind-driven ion loss at Mars, with implications for understanding the planet's long-term atmospheric evolution. By validating EUHFORIA predictions against MAVEN measurements, we also establish the model's utility for simulating solar wind conditions at Mars, supporting future space weather predictions for Mars missions.
