Solar-wind electron precipitation on weakly magnetized bodies: the planet Mercury [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 674, A153 (2023), 2022
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 precipitates on Mercury's surface. Using a 3D fully-kinetic self-consistent plasma model, we show for the first time that solar-wind electron precipitation drives (i) efficient ...
