Generation of sub-ion scale magnetic holes from electron shear flow instabilities in plasma turbulence
Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Pucci, Francesco Califano +2
Magnetic holes (MHs) are coherent structures associated with strong magnetic field depressions in magnetized plasmas. They are observed in many astrophysical environments at a wide…
Maps of solar wind plasma precipitation onto Mercury's surface: a geographical perspective
Federico Lavorenti, Elizabeth A. Jensen, Sae Aizawa +7
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, possesses a weak intrinsic magnetic field and has only a very tenuous atmosphere (exosphere). These three conditions result in a direct co…
Role of FLR effects in magnetopause equilibrium
Giulio Ballerini, Gerard Belmont, Laurence Rezeau +1
The Earth magnetopause, when sufficiently plane and stationary at a local scale, can be considered as a "quasi-tangential" discontinuity, since the normal component of the magnetic…
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…
Investigating Mercury's Environment with the Two-Spacecraft BepiColombo Mission
A. Milillo, M. Fujimoto, G. Murakami +76
The ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission will provide simultaneous measurements from two spacecraft, offering an unprecedented opportunity to investigate magnetospheric and exospheric dyna…
