The plasma environment of Venus, Mars, and Titan, an introduction -- Upstream of Venus and Mars -- Upstream of Saturn and Titan -- Recent results from Titan's ionosphere -- The induced magnetospheres of Mars, Venus, and Titan -- Ion energization and escape on Mars and Venus -- Exospheres and energetic neutral atoms -- Modeling of Venus, Mars, and Titan -- Ion acceleration and outflow from Mars and Venus, an overview -- Titan, an overview.
This volume summarizes the recent results of the exploration of Venus, Mars, and Titan in the field of space plasma physics. These are the only non-magnetic solar system bodies having dense atmospheres. A number of space missions investigated these objects; the past and the current missions are put in context with modern theoretical descriptions. The strength of the book is the comparison of the similarities and differences in the plasma interaction of Venus, Mars and Titan; such comparisons have not yet been published. This volume is aimed at graduate students and researchers working in planetary science and space physics. Previously published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 162/1-4, 2011.
