Solar wind entry into Mercury's magnetosphere: Simulation results for the second swingby of BepiColombo
Simulating Mercury's magnetosphere with the AIKEF hybrid code for BepiColombo swingby 2 shows solar wind protons entering with energies from a few eV to around 10 keV, and a thicker magnetosheath on the dusk side.
