Plasma streams in the Hermean dayside magnetosphere: solar wind injection through the reconnection region
J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet
The aim of this research is to simulate the interaction of the solar wind with the magnetic field of Mercury and to study the particle fluxes between the magnetosheath and the plan…

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…

Parametric study of the solar wind interaction with the Hermean magnetosphere for a weak interplanetary magnetic field
J. Varela, F. Pantellini, M. Moncuquet
The aim of this study is to simulate the interaction of the solar wind with the Hermean magnetosphere when the interplanetary magnetic field is weak, performing a parametric study…
