Abstract

We have calculated the proton and the oxygen velocities in the nightside magnetosheath of Mars utilising the particle observations made by ASPERA onboard the Phobos 2 spacecraft. The O⁺ observations can be divided into three classes according to the velocities and locations: the "central tail", the "energetic", and the "slowly moving" O⁺ ions. A detailed study of the energetic O⁺ ions shows that they are related to non-typical magnetic field conditions.
