Solar Wind Interaction with Non-Magnetic Planets

太阳风与行星直接相互作用，这些行星的内在磁场太小，无法保护它们的大气层和电离层。这项研究的重点将是太阳风与金星、火星、土卫六和彗星等非磁性太阳系天体的相互作用。这一领域的研究有助于更广泛地了解太阳与行星之间的关系。拟议的研究活动包括太阳风和其他外部等离子体介质与金星、火星、土卫六和彗星相互作用的理论建模。作为这项研究工作的一部分，将进行测试粒子和磁流体动力学计算。

The solar wind interacts directly with planets whose intrinsic magnetic fields are too small to protect their atmospheres and ionospheres. The research will focus on the interaction of the solar wind with non-magnetic solar system bodies such as Venus, Mars, Titan, and comets. Research in this area contributes to a broader understanding of solar-planetary relations in general. The proposed research activity consists of theoretical modeling of the interactions of the solar wind, and other external plasma media, with Venus, Mars, Titan, and comets. Both test particle and magnetohydrodynamical calculations will be undertaken as part of this research effort.
