Bow Shock Crossing Observations by MESSENGER From a Magnetic Point of View Open
Mercury possesses a weak internal magnetic field, which creates a magnetosphere and consequently a bow shock that interacts with the solar wind. Understanding the dynamics of the bow shock is essential for deepening our knowledge of Mercur…

BepiColombo at Mercury: Three flybys, three magnetospheres Open
We examine the first three BepiColombo Mercury flybys Using data from the Miniature Ion Precipitation Analyzer (MIPA), an ion mass analyzer in the Search for Exospheric Refilling and Natural Abundances (SERENA) package on the Mercury Plane…

Solar wind velocity reconstruction at Mercury using MESSENGER bow shock and magnetopause crossings.  Open
The solar wind significantly shapes and influences planetary magnetospheres, driving their structure and dynamics. Mercury, with its weak intrinsic magnetic field and close proximity to the Sun, is particularly sensitive to solar wind vari…

Shocklets in the vicinity of Mercury Open
Shocklets are compressive, linearly polarized magnetosonic structures that have been widely observed in the Earth's foreshock. They form due to wave steepening and dispersive effects, often accompanied by whistler wave precursors. At Earth…

Spectral Modelling the Induction Effect of a Strong CME Hitting Planet Mercury Open
Planet Mercury, with its weak internal magnetic field, is continuously exposed to an intense solar wind. This interaction becomes particularly dynamic during coronal mass ejections, resulting in a strong compression of the magnetosphere. S…

Bursty reconnection during BepiColombo's third Mercury flyby Open
Mercury is known to possess a Magnetosphere that is highly responsive to the upstream Solar Wind conditions. Previous studies using MESSENGER data have contributed to understanding the dynamics of Mercury's respond to the upstream. However…

Modeling Mercury's magnetosheath by the potential-mapping method  Open
Modeling the plasma and magnetic field state in Mercury's magnetosheath is one of the most urgent tasks in Mercury science in view of the upcoming BepiColombo mission. By considering the steady-state and constructing the Laplace equation f…

Influence of the IMF direction on Mercury's magnetosphere Open
Mercury, the smallest and innermost planet of our solar system, is exposed to a strong solar wind. The internal field is dipole-dominated, relatively weak, axisymmetric and significantly offset towards north. Through the interaction with t…

Revised Magnetospheric Model Reveals Signatures of Field‐Aligned Current Systems at Mercury Open
Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet of our solar system and has a dipole‐dominated internal magnetic field that is relatively weak, very axisymmetric and significantly offset toward north. Through the interaction with the solar wi…

Neutral Current Sheet Displacement in Reaction to the Radial Interplanetary Magnetic Field at Mercury: Statistical Results from MESSENGER Data. Open
Mercury possesses a weak planetary dipole moment and is subject to a strong solar wind inflow. Thus, a small magnetosphere is formed. On the nightside, a neutral current sheet elongates the magnetic field lines to form a magnetotail. From …

Solar-wind-dependent streamline model for Mercury’s magnetosheath Open
Context. Mercury’s magnetosphere and magnetosheath are unique in the Solar System plasmas as they are highly time dependent, since the planet has only a small-scale magnetosphere originating from the weak intrinsic planetary magnetic field…

BepiColombo at Mercury: First close-in magnetic field measurements from the southern hemisphere Open
<p>The internal magnetic field of Mercury is best described by a northward offset dipole with almost zero obliquity. Its offset, weakness, axisymmetry and lack of secular variation still poses a challenge to dynamo theory. After NASA…
