Maps of solar wind plasma precipitation onto Mercury's surface: a geographical perspective
Federico Lavorenti, Elizabeth A. Jensen, Sae Aizawa +7
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, possesses a weak intrinsic magnetic field and has only a very tenuous atmosphere (exosphere). These three conditions result in a direct co…
Solar-wind electron precipitation on weakly magnetized bodies: the planet Mercury
Federico Lavorenti, Pierre Henri, Francesco Califano +4
Mercury is the archetype of a weakly magnetized, airless, telluric body immersed in the solar wind. Due to the lack of any substantial atmosphere, the solar wind directly precipita…
Investigating Mercury's Environment with the Two-Spacecraft BepiColombo Mission
A. Milillo, M. Fujimoto, G. Murakami +76
The ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission will provide simultaneous measurements from two spacecraft, offering an unprecedented opportunity to investigate magnetospheric and exospheric dyna…
Astrophysical objects observed by the MESSENGER X-ray spectrometer during Mercury flybys
N. P. Bannister, G. W. Fraser, S. T. Lindsay +2
The MESSENGER spacecraft conducted its first flyby of Mercury on 14th January 2008, followed by two subsequent encounters on 6th October 2008 and 29th September 2009, prior to Merc…
