Changes in the Martian atmosphere induced by auroral electron precipitation
Typical auroral events in the Martian atmosphere, such as discrete and diffuse auroral emissions detected by UV spectrometers onboard ESA Mars Express and NASA MAVEN, are investigated. Auroral electron kinetic en...

Monte Carlo study of interaction between solar wind plasma and Venusian upper atmosphere
Isolated events of proton and alpha particle precipitation in the Venusian atmosphere were recorded with the use of the ASPERA-4 analyzer on board the ESA Venus Express spacecraft. Using a Monte Carlo simulati...

On Possible Nature of Pre-eclipse Dips in Light Curves of Semi-detached Systems with Steady-state Disks
In order to explain pre-eclipse dips at phases ∼0.7 in light curves of cataclysmic variables, the hypothesis of the thickening at the outer edge of the accretion disk is usually used. Shock-free nature of the ...
