MESSENGER observations of Mercury's planetary ion escape rates and their dependence on true anomaly angle
Weijie Sun, Ryan M. Dewey, Xianzhe Jia +11
This study investigates the escape of Mercury's sodium-group ions (Na+-group, including ions with m/q from 21 to 30 amu/e) and their dependence on true anomaly angle (TAA), i.e., M…

MESSENGER observations of planetary ion enhancements at Mercury's northern magnetospheric cusp during Flux Transfer Event Showers
Weijie Sun, James A. Slavin, Anna Milillo +11
At Mercury, several processes can release ions and neutrals out of the planet's surface. Here we present enhancements of dayside planetary ions in the solar wind entry layer during…
