abstract = "Wavelet analysis was employed to identify the major frequencies
present in the plasma oscillations in the Martian magnetosheath.
We have selected magnetosheath crossings and applied the Morlet
wavelet transform to the electron density and temperature data,
obtained from the Analyzer of Space Plasmas and Energetic Atoms
experiment (ASPERA-3), onboard the Mars Express (MEX). In a study
of 9667 magnetosheath crossings observed from 2005 to 2016, we
have found 22,912 frequencies with high wave power between 5 and
60 mHz for the electron density data, For about 2/3 of the high
wave power periods (63.3%), the most energetic frequencies were
identified in the range 520 mHz. The analysis of the electron
temperature data led to similar results, with 61.9% of the highest
power frequencies in the 520 mHz range. No significant influence
of the solar cycle on the frequencies of ULF waves has been
observed in our analysis. The frequencies obtained here are near
the O+ gyrofrequency. The main fact that controls the ion
gyroradius is the interplanetary magnetic field that is compressed
around the planet.",
