Abstract
⺠We study photoionization and downward ion fluxes in the nightside Venus ionosphere. ⺠We find that the ionosphere is sunlit to 95° SZA or slightly more. ⺠We find that the downward ion flux over the 90-125° range is 1.2E8 cmâ2 sâ1. ⺠We find that the nightside ne peaks are systematically higher than the RO profiles. ⺠We suggest that the VTS3 neutral densities are too large over the entire nightside.
