Presented herein are measurements of the solar wind electron number density and temperature near and within the bow shock of Venus. The measurements were made by the Pioneer Venus mission Orbiter Retarding Potential Analyzer operating in its suprathe

The purpose of the current study is to review the available and relevant experimental data in order to examine whether there is any evidence of accelerated electrons above the dayside ionosphere of Venus, where the shocked solar wind encounters the p

Analysis of orbiter retarding potential analyzer (ORPA) ion data recorded in the nightside Venus hydrogen bulge region has revealed that the temperature of the H+ ions is substantially cooler by approximately 2000°K than that of the O+ ions above 20

Suprathermal electron fluxes measured in the Venus dayside ionosphere in the energy range from 20 to 50 eV are presented for different altitudes, solar zenith angle (SZA), and solar F10.7 flux. The average flux is nearly constant for SZAs between 0°

Ion temperatures measured by the retarding potential analyzer carried aboard the Pioneer Venus Orbiter were sorted according to the ionospheric magnetic field conditions. It was found that the dayside ion temperatures measured during the first couple

The present characterization of the Venus ionosphere gives attention to features observed by the Pioneer Venus orbiter in situ ionospheric particle measuring instrument over an entire cycle of solar activity. A striking change is noted in the typical

An unusual occurrence was recorded by Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) in the Venusian ionosheath on November 10-11, 1981 (orbit 1071): more than an order of magnitude higher densities of ions and electrons were observed than have ever been measured by PV

A population of low-energy (0-250 V E/q) ions with tailward directed velocity vectors and energies above that for escape from Venus is evident in nightside data from the Ames plasma analyzer on the Pioneer Venus Orbiter spacecraft. Good correlations

We present analyses from the five Pioneer Venus Orbiter plasma experiments and the plasma wave experiment when a patch of plasma with enhanced densities was encountered in the near-Venus ionotail during atmospheric entry at an altitude of approximate

The effect of finite grid radius and thickness on the electron current measured by planar retarding potential analyzers (RPAs) is analyzed numerically. Depending on the plasma environment, the current is significantly reduced below that which is calc
