   Abstract : Venus does not have a strong intrinsic magnetic field as the Earth, and its magnetosphere is induced by the interaction of the solar wind with the ionosphere. The near-Venus space environment is characterized by the presence of a bow shock and of an induced magnetic boundary linked to the interplanetary magnetic field orientation. READ MORE

3. 2. The connection between the bow shock at Mercury and the interplanetary magnetic field

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Keywords : Mercury bow shock; Bow shock - interplanetary magnetic field interaction; MESSENGER; Merkurius bogchock; Växelverkan bogchock interplanetära magnetfältet; MESSENGER;

   Abstract : As the solar wind reaches Mercury it interacts with the planet’s magnetic field slowing down, forming a bow shock in front of the planet and diverting the flow around it. Along with the solar wind comes the interplanetary magnetic field, an extension of the sun’s magnetic field. READ MORE
