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…

Electron dynamics in small magnetospheres: insights from global fully-kinetic plasma simulations of planet Mercury
Federico Lavorenti, Pierre Henri, Francesco Califano +4
The planet Mercury possesses a small but highly dynamic magnetosphere in which the role and dynamics of electrons are still largely unknown. We aim at modeling the global dynamics…
