A Statistical Investigation of Factors Influencing the Magnetotail Twist at Mars

A Statistical Investigation of Factors Influencing the Magnetotail Twist at Mars

Abstract The Martian magnetotail exhibits a highly twisted configuration, shifting in response to changes in polarity of the interplanetary magnetic field's (IMF) dawn‐dusk (BY) component. Here, we analyze ∼6000 MAVEN orbits to quantify the degree of magnetotail twisting (θTwist) and assess var...
