摘要: Results of model computations the interaction high-energy protons and hydrogen atoms (H/H+) precipitating into Martian atmosphere are presented. These were performed using a modification kinetic Monte Carlo developed earlier for analysis data from MEX/ASPERA-3 instrument onboard Mars Express spacecraft MAVEN/SWIA MAVEN spacecraft. In this model, an arbitrary (three-dimensional) structure magnetic field is taken account first time. With local measurements all three components field, not only flux penetrating atmosphere, but also degradation H/H+ along orbit formation upward fluxes scattered by can now be described. A comparison simulations proton at low altitudes used to infer efficiency charge exchange between solar wind extended corona. It was found that induced plays very important role in back-scattered strongly controls its magnitude.
