MERCURY’S MAGNETOSPHERE AND EXOSPHERE: RECENT RESULTS FROM MESSENGER DATA



Mercury’s Magnetosphere and Exosphere: Recent results from MESSENGER data Jamie Jasinski, JPL, Caltech MESSENGER observations of Mercury’s magnetosphere and exosphere have shown them to be highly dynamic. Dayside magnetic reconnection drives magnetospheric dynamics, injecting solar wind plasma into the cusps which precipitates onto the planet’s surface and sputters neutral atoms and ions into Mercury’s exosphere and magnetosphere. I will present new results from analysis of MESSENGER data which help us to better understand the dynamics and coupling between Mercury’s magnetosphere and exosphere.
