The effect of interplanetary magnetic field orientation on the solar wind flux impacting Mercury's surface

J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet

The aim of this paper is to study the plasma flows on the Mercury surface for different interplanetary magnetic field orientations on the day side of the planet. We use a single fl…
