Fig. 7.From: Ion distributions in the vicinity of Mars: Signatures of heating and acceleration processesAverage heavy ion spectra from the tail (upper panel) and from the dayside magnetosheath (lower panel). Spectra for average conditions are shown with black lines, and during CIR events are shown with red lines. The x axis shows particle energy summed over all angles [eV], the y axis shows the differential flux [m−2 s−1 sr−1 s−1].Back to article page
