[en] The shape of the largest DEF electron spectrum is similar at Mars and Venus.
The shape of the largest DEF electron spectra at Mars and Venus is similar to the electron spectrum detected during the times SPICAM detects “auroral” enhanced signatures. Since the magnetic field at Mars is chaotic, the largest DEF electron spectrum could be magnetically directed from the dayside to the nightside where it could precipitate causing the same “auroral” signature seen by SPICAM.
