High-altitude gravity waves in the Martian thermosphere observed by MAVEN/NGIMS and modeled by a gravity wave scheme
Erdal Yiğit,Erdal Yiğit,Scott L. England,Guiping Liu,Alexander S. Medvedev,Alexander S. Medvedev,Paul R. Mahaffy,Takeshi Kuroda,Bruce M. Jakosky +8 more
TL;DR: The first high-altitude observations of gravity wave (GW)-induced CO2 density perturbations in the Martian thermosphere retrieved from NASA's Neutral Gas Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS) instrument on board the Mars Atmosphere Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) satellite are presented and interpreted using the extended GW parameterization of Yigit et al..
Mars thermosphere as seen in MAVEN accelerometer data
Richard W. Zurek,R. A. Tolson,Stephen W. Bougher,R. Lugo,Darren Baird,Jared Bell,Bruce M. Jakosky +6 more
TL;DR: The Mars thermosphere has been probed in situ for one Mars year using accelerometers on board the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft as mentioned in this paper, and the six Deep Dip campaigns that MAVEN has conducted (with periapsis dropping below~135 km) significantly extend the vertical profiles of the densities derived from accelerometer data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct an extended survey of reconnection signatures observed in the Martian magnetotail by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission.
Enhanced O2 Loss at Mars Due to an Ambipolar Electric Field from Electron Heating
Robert E. Ergun,L. Andersson,Christopher M. Fowler,A. K. Woodson,Tristan Weber,G. T. Delory,David Andrews,Anders Eriksson,T. McEnulty,Michiko Morooka,A. I. F. Stewart,Paul R. Mahaffy,Bruce M. Jakosky +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of higher T(sub e) and ion heating on ion outflow and loss were investigated, and numerical solutions showed that plasma processes including ion heating and higher T sub e may greatly increase O2+ loss at Mars.
