英文摘要: Data from the neutral particle imager (NPI) on Venus Express reveals the presence of a persistent +Y (Venus Solar-Oriented) flow of Energetic Neutral Atoms (ENAs) in the Venus polar thermosphere. The overall flow morphology and altitude distribution of ENAs, solar wind H+ (SWH+), and ionospheric O+ imply that SWH+&O+ Charge Exchange (CE) with thermosphere neutrals causes the ENA flow. A dusk-dawn and noon-midnight ENA flux asymmetry is consistent with an asymmetric CE-interaction with higher ENA fluxes in the dayside and dawn (+Y). Model ENA fluxes derived from CE between SWH+&O+ and a model oxygen thermosphere is consistent with NPI data. Adding energy-corrected NPI fluxes and ion fluxes gives essentially constant fluxes of ≈1012 part/(m2s) in the altitude range of 200-1200 km. The energy and momentum of the 1-10 km/s ion and ENA flow, induced by solar wind forcing, should have implications for wind patterns in the polar thermosphere above 200 km. Key Points The solar wind interaction with the Venus thermosphere leads to wind of ENAs The ENA wind may dominate the thermosphere flow above 200 km altitude Besides affecting wind patterns, it may also cause thermosphere oxygen depletion ©2014.
