Oxygen ion escape from Venus in a global hybrid simulation: role of the ionospheric O<sup>+</sup> ions
We study the solar wind induced oxygen ion escape from Venus' upper atmosphere and the Venus Express observations of the Venus-solar wind interaction by the HYB-Venus hybrid simulation code. We compare the simulation to the magnetic field and ion observations during an orbit of nominal upst...
