A Survey of Photoelectrons on the Nightside of Mars

Y. -T. Cao et al.

Summary: This study presents a statistical survey of nightside photoelectrons on Mars using measurements from the MAVEN spacecraft. Nearly 30% of the available nightside measurements show clear photoelectron signatures, with occurrence rate decreasing with solar zenith angle. The observations suggest that nightside photoelectrons exhibit preferentially field-aligned pitch angle distribution and are less likely to be observed under high solar wind conditions.
