Mercury Lander: Planetary Mission Concept Study for the 2023-2032 Decadal Survey
Carolyn M. Ernst, Sanae Kubota, Nancy Chabot +21
As an end-member of terrestrial planet formation, Mercury holds unique clues about the original distribution of elements in the earliest stages of solar system development and how…
Seasonal and diurnal variations in AMPERE observations of the Birkeland currents compared to modeled results
J. C. Coxon, S. E. Milan, J. A. Carter +3
We reduce measurements made by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE) to give the total Birkeland (field-aligned) current flowing in bo…
Principal component analysis of Birkeland currents determined by the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment
S. E. Milan, J. A. Carter, H. Korth +1
Principal component analysis is performed on Birkeland or field-aligned current (FAC) measurements from the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment.…
Active current sheets and hot flow anomalies in Mercury's bow shock
V. M. Uritsky, J. A. Slavin, S. A. Boardsen +8
Hot flow anomalies (HFAs) represent a subset of solar wind discontinuities interacting with collisionless bow shocks. They are typically formed when the normal component of motiona…
Kinetic-scale magnetic turbulence and finite Larmor radius effects at Mercury
V. M. Uritsky, J. A. Slavin, G. V. Khazanov +4
We use a nonstationary generalization of the higher-order structure function technique to investigate statistical properties of the magnetic field fluctuations recorded by MESSENGE…
The initial temporal evolution of a feedback dynamo for Mercury
D. Heyner, D. Schmitt, J. Wicht +3
Various possibilities are currently under discussion to explain the observed weakness of the intrinsic magnetic field of planet Mercury. One of the possible dynamo scenarios is a d…
