摘要: Two isolated solar wind disturbances about 5 minutes in duration were detected aboard the Russian spacecraft Phobos-2 upon its crossing the wake of martian moon Deimos about 15,000 kilometers downstream from on 1 February 1989. These plasma and magnetic events are interpreted as inbound outbound crossings a Mach cone that is formed result an effective interaction with Deimos. Possible mechanisms such remanent magnetization, cometary type caused by heavy ion or charged dust production, unipolar induction resulting finite conductivity body discussed. Although none present models fully satisfactory, neutral gas emission through water loss at rate 1023 molecules per second, combined charged coma, favored.
