TL;DR: In this paper , the SupraThermal And Thermal Ion Composition (STHI) data set was used to study the structure and variability of Mars' ionosphere, demonstrating that solar zenith angle effects, the crustal magnetic fields, and electron precipitation on the night side, drive the strongest structural features, consistent with photochemical theory.
Dust observations at orbital altitudes surrounding Mars

TL;DR: Direct observations of dust entering the martian atmosphere improve the understanding of the sources, sinks, and transport of interplanetary dust throughout the inner solar system and the associated impacts on Mars’s atmosphere.
MAVEN observations on a hemispheric asymmetry of precipitating ions toward the Martian upper atmosphere according to the upstream solar wind electric field
Takuya Hara,Janet G. Luhmann,François Leblanc,Shannon Curry,Kanako Seki,David Brain,Jasper Halekas,Yuki Harada,James P. McFadden,Roberto Livi,Gina A. DiBraccio,John E. P. Connerney,Bruce M. Jakosky +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the global spatial distribution of ions precipitating toward the Martian upper atmosphere has a highly asymmetric pattern relative to the upstream solar wind electric field.

TL;DR: The MAVEN Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) instrument as mentioned in this paper is designed to measure the energetic charged particle input to the Martian atmosphere, allowing the effects of high energy solar particle events on Mars upper atmospheric structure, temperatures, dynamics and atmospheric escape rates, to be quantified and understood.
Effects of the Crustal Magnetic Fields and Changes in the IMF Orientation on the Magnetosphere of Mars: MAVEN Observations and LatHyS Results
Norberto Romanelli,Ronan Modolo,François Leblanc,Jean-Yves Chaufray,Sebastien Hess,David Brain,John E. P. Connerney,Jasper Halekas,James P. McFadden,Bruce M. Jakosky +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed MAVEN magnetic field and plasma measurements obtained on 23 December 2014, between 06:00 UT and 14:15 UT, to investigate the response of the Martian plasma environment to the crustal magnetic fields (CF) rotation and IMF variability.
