Venus-Mars difference: (2) cold H+
(1) Gravity: Venus > Mars
(2) Exosphere: Venus < Mars
(3) newly born H+: Venus << Mars
(This is clear from the difference in “ring distribution”)
(4) cold H+ at Bow shock: Venus << Mars
(High density cold H+ is observed only for Mars)

Planet is smaller than the Earth.
The bow shock size is too small to treat with MHD.

SW Reflection convert V to V// in SW frame
∆
The observed multiple ring structure is well explained
by multiple specular reflection.
But, why is it observed outside the foot region?
no : Finite bow shock size compared to rg.
yes: Cold ion in the bow shock
This may explain “non-specular reflection” at subsolar.

Special features for Mars
• Energy is stepping (due to reflection?)
• Gyro-bunching effect (due to short distance?) with gradual
acceleration (why?)
• Two different scale length
• No specular reflection near the bow shock (need to confirm)

SummaryVenus Express / ASPERA-4 often observes back-streaming H+ in the foreshock region of Venus, in a similar ways as the Terrestrial foreshock, i.e., field-aligned component, and intermediate (gyrating) component
Mars Express / ASPERA-3 (same instrumentation as VEX) did not observe similar ions in the Martian foreshock region beyond the foot region. Instead, it shows different type of acceleration in the foot region, indicating the ion trajectory (history) during its gyromotion.
The finite gyroradius effect makes Mars a perfect laboratory to study acceleration processes.
